Besides of design UI issues that need to be changed I am having an annoying issue as well.

This used to happen randomly in Windows 8 but seems to be constant now in Windows 10.

I have the taskbar set to auto-hide. Almost all the time I have to pull chrome from fullscreen into windowed, back into fullscreen for the taskbar to show up like it should.

Otherwise it stays hidden and I can not access it. I thought it was related to playing Youtube videos fullscreen but then it happened randomly as well.

Whats your UI scaling? > 100%?

Try compatibility mode set as 'Windows 7' for the Google Chrome as mentioned in this described solution - http://www.hightechmaniac.com/2015/04/how-to-fix-when-windows-taskbar-disappear-in-chrome.html

 

Bug - https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=472139

I thought it was working but after a reboot....wow

Chrome now has thick borders to it (windowed mode), the user button is ugly now...and hangouts is broken, it will not load, says its loaded but not shown..

Bah, Windows 10 is actually making me hate Chrome. Yet no better alternative.

The dev channel of Google Chrome has made some slight tweaks to match Windows 10 better (no rounded edges on toolbar):

Maybe give the dev version a go and see if it solves some of you issue?

The auto-hide task bar not showing has always been a problem with chrome (on my machines). Ironically, it seems to be doing a little better in Win 10 for me. Chrome developers claim the problem is with Windws, and MS hasn't addressed it, so I guess we're stuck with it.

I returned it back to normal, not compatible mode but hangouts is still broken.

I have experienced this before in the past but I can't remember how it was fixed. It shows in the taskbar as loaded, but the transparent bubbles won't show or anything :(

 

****removed and reinstalled fixed it. bah stupid lol

    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval by David Uzondu Image via @realDonalTrump (X) As OpenAI prepares the release of its next model, GPT 5.6, the White House has instructed the company to limit the distribution of the software to a small group of government-approved partners instead of the general public, as it has done with previous releases. According to The Information, OpenAI Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman sent an internal memo to staff on Thursday explaining that the federal government will approve access "customer by customer" during an initial preview phase. Altman noted in the communication that this restrictive rollout is "not [their] long-term model" for software deployment, and the company plans to work toward a "more sustainable" distribution method later. CNN said that both OpenAI and the Trump administration view the capabilities of GPT 5.6 on the same level as Anthropic's Mythos and that government officials intend to "collaborate with frontier AI labs to develop shared approaches for addressing the challenges of scaling this technology." The latest restriction comes just weeks after the US Commerce Department decided to restrict Fable, a version of Mythos with extra safety "guardrails" to prevent users from exploiting software vulnerabilities. Not long after the release, though, researchers at Amazon found a way to bypass these restrictions, prompting an aggressive response from federal authorities. The government ordered Anthropic to cut off access for non-US citizens located outside the US, non-US citizens living inside the US, and incredibly, even Anthropic's own foreign-born employees. Anthropic now appears to be building a workaround to resolve this compliance block with an update to its Privacy Policy that introduces a category called "Verification Data" to handle KYC and Digital IDs. This setup could mandate digital identity checks to filter users by nationality, requiring a government-issued ID and facial biometric data. Who knows? Maybe in the future, you would have to scan your US Passport or State ID to prove your citizenship before you are allowed to chat with Fable 5 (or any other model).
    • When Windows 7 was released I created an AutoHotkey script that uses Alt+` as a keyboard shortcut to move a window across monitors. I have been using that script for over 15 years and this is the first time I have come across another app that uses the same shortcut!
    • I called it last year that they wouldn't end support when they said there would. There are too many people still on Windows 10 waiting for something better to upgrade to and 11 ain't it! The recent promises of fixing Windows 11's many problems is nice, but unless they deliver on those promises in a big way then I expect customers will still want to stick with 10.
