Fix That Annoying Win10 Taskbar over YouTube Videos in Full Screen

 

 

Google Wallpaper Hd

 

 

Affects: Windows (7,8,10)

 

Includes: Chrome Browser, YouTube

 

Read Time: ~ 5 minutes

 

 

Let�s set the stage:

 

You�re watching YouTube and decide to set it into full screen mode. So you click that little button and (as expected) the video fills your screen. Except one minor detail:

 

The Windows 10 taskbar is still visible on top of the video.

 

It�s safe to say that this little bug can drive the most patient person insane. Do you enable some magical option in chrome://plugins? Is there some setting in Chrome that you missed? Do you uninstall Flash Player?

 

Well, there are some short answers for most of this which I�ll cover today.

 

 

Unpin Chrome

 

The first culprit could simply be a glitch with pinning Chrome to the taskbar. Some suggestions I�ve seen involved removing it from the taskbar and re-pinning it again. I�ve had marginal success with this at best.

 

 

Flash Fire

 

In chrome://plugins you can also check to see if multiple versions of Adobe Flash are enabled. Just hit the Details button on the top right to see. If they are, just disable the ones that aren�t the Pepper player native to Chrome.

 

 

Restart Explorer

 

The solution that seems to have worked for me is simply to restart the Windows Explorer process in Task Manager. Seems a little scary for those who never have done this before, but rest assured it�s perfectly safe.

 

 

 

Step One

 

Screenshot_1

 

 

  • Right-Click on your Taskbar
  • Select Task Manager

 

 

 

Step Two

 

Screenshot_2

 

  • Locate Windows Explorer in the Task Manager List
  • Select it and Click Restart  below

 

 

What This Does

 

Essentially you�ve rebooted the computer without rebooting it.

 

Sometimes the Windows Explorer process gets a little finicky or glitched up depending on what is going on and over what period of time you are running the computer. When things go awry with the taskbar, sometimes you just need a quick restart of the process itself to sort it out.

 

This can also happen due to other factors -

 

  • Windows Update
  • Registry Errors

 

There is also the possibility that when you boot up the computer, the loading process itself might have messed something up with the shear volume of items vying for attention on Windows Start.

 

In any event, this will give it a fresh start and (hopefully) resume your ability to run YouTube videos in full screen again while using Chrome.

 

Have any additional tips or suggestions?

Feel free to drop them in the comments for others.

Ramayana Soul Sabdatanmantra � �地獄 Scattered Purgatory God of Silver Grass

Ramayana Soul Sabdatanmantra � �地獄 Scattered Purgatory God of Silver Grass Reviewed by Nathan Ford There are few who read this rag who would doubt that we place Kikagaku Moyo at the very pinnacle of the current Japanese psychedelic scene. That being the case, its not unusual at all to discover that Guruguru Brain, the label run by Kikagaku Moyos Tomoyuki Katsurada is a veritable treasure trove of adventurous psychedelia, inhabited by names known to few in the Western world. Their first release was a wonderful and essential sampler of modern Japanese psychedelia which can still be downloaded for free here, but its two more recent releases that we concern ourselves with today. Ramayana Soul is first on the turntable, and while the band are actually Indonesian, its obvious why Katsuradas interest was peaked. "Sabdatanmantra" is a joyous wonder that perfectly illustrates the singular way in which Eastern psychedelia embraces free form spontaneity without sacrificing a tune, or in...
