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

    • Why Delta Chat is the best decentralized messenger you have probably never tried

      By zikalify · Posted

      You are mostly right about the ephemeral nature of it. As I mention in the article, if you dont add a second device or take a backup of your account before uninstalling it, then yes you will lose access to your account. That said, in terms of actual user experience when you sync multiple devices your message history carries across and there's also a Saved Messages chat like there is on Telegram to send messages and attachments between your installs. But yh, what you point out are correct and its not trying to emulate Messenger or Telegram.
    • You've tried DuckDuckGo and Brave Search, now get serious with SearXNG

      OK so SearXNG is a meta search engine that you can install locally or use via a public instance. It scrapes other search engines which you choose and then sorts the results. Not as complicated as multiple relays

      The only difference here is that you think you came up with these reasons. You didn't. These age old fearmongering lies (that were NEVER true) were funded by and the anger stoked by Putin through proxies like Farage (and later in the USA, Trump) and filtered down through the skinheads, Neonazis, etc. until it reached the uninformed, ignorant, and gullible -- never realizing they were being played for fools against their own best interests. Even now, despite all of the EVIDENCE proving that Brexit was a terrible mistake for ALL citizens of the UK and that its supporters were tricked by Putin's proxies into sabotaging their own nation, you're still here defending these well-known lies as if they were ever true. Not only are they not true. They NEVER were. So, when are you going to realize that you were lied to and actually get angry at the liars and charlatans who lied to you, instead of blaming the innocent people they lied to you about?
