How do I get it to go away?

Generally, I hit Win+tab to enter the Windows 10 Expose thing and then click on the game window. It usually clears it up for me.

There should be a setting in your taskbar settings for showing the taskbar.

I don’t want to hide the task bar in windows. just while WoW is active. I’ve tried the win tab thing but that doesn’t seem to help

There supposed to be a setting that turns off the “always on top” setting of the taskbar.

In WoW or in windows? I can’t see it in either. This has never been a problem until today.

I found this on the Microsoft site:

Restart Windows Explorer!
To do that, open Task Manager and look down the “Processes” list. Near the bottom of that list you will find “Windows Explorer”.
*Just highlight it, and grayed-out button (situated in the lower-right of Task Manager’s main window) will light up revealing the word “Restart”. Hit that. Now, give Windows Explorer a few seconds to restart, (screen flickers) and then go ahead and close the Task Manager.

It may or may not fix the issue.
