How can I prevent Chrome from hiding the Windows Taskbar?

Question

When I'm using Chrome I have to hit the Windows key whenever I want to show the taskbar.

Is there a way to prevent Chrome from hiding it in the first place.

On every other application when I move my cursor to the bottom of the screen the taskbar (which I have set to auto-hide) appears. Only Chrome requires me to press a key to see it.

On occasions when I have to use items on the taskbar frequently, it becomes a pain to have to press the Windows key every time.

I Googled on this and found someone who managed to fix this issue by applying a theme to Chrome from the Themes Gallery. This didn't work for me.

Solution

You are using Google Chrome in full screen mode, the task bar is unavailable there. Press F11.

Alternative, you could have this problem: Google Chrome: Always On Top Bug
