Hi, friends. After Windows anniversary update (1607) I see a problem with the Photoshop full screen mode. Windows taskbar always stay on the top, and never

disappears. Here, how it looks:

No matter, what full screen mode is chosen, the windows taskbar is always on, after any click. It disappeared after first pressing "F", and then appeared after any click.


Please, help!

    Theme starts 08.08.2016 , today 15.10.2016. Two months and two updates come out since that time. The last is: 2015.5.1 (17.0.1.156)

    The problem is still here... "Great" job, Adobe! (((

    Same problem here with CS6 on Win10 64bit. Not being able to work in fullscreen mode is really awkward for me. I would be grateful for a solution.

    Not a solution but, for anyone using dual/triple monitors, don't forget you don't have to have the taskbar on the main screen.

    I put the taskbar on the left, Photoshop in the middle and palettes on the right.

    Like I said, not a solution for all, but may help some

    Has anyone noticed that this is partially fixed now?

    This is on a windows x64 bit version 1607 os build 14393.187

    (one can check the version and build by using Run (window key+R and typing winver)

    By partially, it seems photoshop cc thru cc 2015.5.1 work in photoshop proper and camera raw hiding the windows 10 task bar.

    Photoshop cs6 works in photoshop proper but not in camera raw.

    Older versions of photopshop before cs6 still don't auto hide the winndows 10 task bar in photoshop proper full screen or camera raw full screen.

    Photoshop elements 14 camera raw 9.5 in Full Screen mode doesn't hide the win 10 task bar.

    (older versions of photoshop elements and camera raw are the same as pse 14)

    If adobe didn't partially fix it the new camera raw 9.7 updates, it must have been the windows 10 KB3189866 cumulative update that just came out.

    Still happening with me.  It's annoying, but it helps to know it is a bug, so I have stopped looking for which other window is looking for input, turned off Auto Hide Task Bar and resized Photoshop's main window. So appart from losing a tiny part of my big monitor, I can at least access those icons that were being hidden.  What is also nice, is that plug-in windows (Alien Skin, Topaz) comply to the new Photoshop size, so I can now see ​OK ​ and ​Apply​ buttons without having to drag the window onto another monitor!

    I think i discovered why it's working for me, even though there was a time it didn't work.

    I have the windows taskbar at the top of the screen.

    Also works with the taskbar on the left hand side of screen.

    Doesn't hide the taskbar if on the bottom or right hand side of screen.

    Same issue here.

    I tried this and it worked for me.

    1. Open Photoshop

    2. Unmaximize PS window (Windows + down arrow)

    3. Press F for the Full Screen mode.

    Windows Taskbar should disappear now in full screen.

    Unfortunately taskbar will appear after any new click on the tool, or on the explorer window. Any way, this could not be named "conveniently work".
