    Even I have enabled following settings the Windows Taskbar is coming up after a while in fullscreen mode (see screenshot):
    General --> Startup/Resume:
    • Keep MediaPortal always on top
    • Hide taskbar in fullscreen mode
    Minimizing and restoring MediaPortal 1.3.0 Beta hides the taskbar for a while.
    Didn't have this issue with Windows 7.

    Hi,
    I can confirm the same too. After a reboot it's better but it seems something trigger to appear taskbar, it didn't happen each time for me.
    It seems starting MP from a shortcut in metro (not starting MP from normal desktop) looks better, can you try ?

    My experience is that the shortcut location (normal or Metro desktop) doesn't make any difference.
    It happens on every Windows restart after a few minutes and stays there until you minimize and restore the MediaPortal window. Apparantly it doesn't happen after resuming from hibernate/standby.
    I disabled any icons and notifications of the Window taskbar but it still appears.

    This issue seems to be prevelant in 1.3.0 final - Is a fix being worked on?
