Host Taskbar on Top

I am using Workstation 15 on a Win10 host.  I have started a few VMs and whenever I switch between them and the host OS and back again, I find that the Win10 host taskbar is visible over the VM even though they are always in full screen.

This only started happening since I upgraded from Workstation 12 so I'm wondering whether this is a bug???

Is this something which is common or has a fix?

Hi, 

We do not encounter such issue on Workstation 15. So I may need more information to understand the issue you descripted. Could u attach a capture picture or video to help reproduce the issue ? And also your host task bar setting? Thanks:)

Hi,

Apologies for the screen shot, I had to take a photo as print screen for some reason took a screen shot of the WinXP VM and not of what was actually on the screen at the time!!

As you'll see, it is a WinXP VM but the Win10 task bar from the host is on top.  I've also included the taskbar settings...DSC_2137.JPG

Hi Cosmarchy - I have exactly this issue (Workstation 17) - did you ever find a solution?
