In those cases, the best course of action is to restart the application, which essentially resets it.
On occasion, usually after specific updates get installed, the item can hang or stall.
While Windows Explorer seems like it's part of the operating system itself, in reality it's a standalone application that works within the operating system. The Taskbar (the bar found at the bottom of Windows showing your clock and which applications are open) is an extension of Windows Explorer, it should be noted. Often, users access Windows Explorer to dig into the hard drive in search of a particular file, folder or location. Simply put, it's an graphical representation of the contents of your hard drive. Windows Explorer is the operating system's means of file navigation. Any ideas how to fix this?Ī: According to research, this is a known bug in Windows 10 and Windows Explorer and restarting the Windows Explorer application should solve the problem. I can 'hide' the Taskbar through the Taskbar Settings to get around this issue, but I like having it there all the time (outside of when I'm watching full-screen videos).
But lately, for some reason, the Taskbar stays where it is and blocks the bottom part of my screen, including the Play and Pause button and video timer. Normally, whenever I'm on YouTube and make the video I'm watching full-screen, my Taskbar disappears so the video takes up my entire screen.
