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

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

      It's expensive, but I bet it will still sell out just like the Steam Deck and the Steam Controller
