This is becoming very frustrating, I use my second monitor for the majority of my web browsing and I also have my security camera software running on the second display as well, and I would really love to be able to switch back and forth without having to minimize the active window. I have the allow taskbar reloading option enabled, but it still will not stay on top, I have also checked and ensured that autohide is disabled. What else can I do to force the taskbar to remain visable?

Yes, that option is enabled

Any more ideas as what to try? It is very annoying to have to use alt-tab to cycle through the open windows as opposed to simply clicking on the taskbar.

No it happens with all applications open.

It shows up with just the security camera software running, but if I open anything else i.e. Firefox, it hides.

Here you go:

Also, I do not have the security software running full screen, if I do, the task bar becomes hidden

Yes, also I 'fixed' it by telling it to hide, then telling it to unhide. It has worked for 2 days that way, so I am going to say that whatever was causing it to hide cleared itself out when I enabled hide then disabled it.
