Hi,
Any other Win 8.1 users out there who share my problem?

I have my taskbar set to auto-hide and always on top, and use either Startdock Start8 or ClassicShell to remove some of the Win8 madness. Problem is that when I turn Fullscreen on, Window's taskbar does not appear when I move the mouse over the side where it should be. And if I disable auto-hide, Fullscreen replaces the taskbar with black. This does not happen if Start8/ClassicShell is not used.

Grateful for any tips on how I can fix this.

I'm running ClassicShell on Win8.1
I have 3 monitors connected.
vMix (4K) runs on monitor 1, which also has taskbar.
Monitor 2 & 3 run fullscreen 1 & 2 respectively.
If either of the 2nd or 3rd monitors are switched off, Win8 puts the fullscreen outputs on monitor 1, and yes that does sit on top of the taskbar.

By default, fullscreen starts with the program.
To turn it off, click the 'fullscreen' button at the top-centre of the vMix window.

To stop fullscreen starting automatically when you open the program, go in to settings, then options and until the relevant box

Thanks hogwam!

Seems you confirm the problem. Furthermore, you point to that the underlying issue might be when no external monitors are attached. That is, the Fullscren is displayed under vMix's window. Will test that further after the weekend.

It's a Win 8 thing - disabling monitors that aren't switched on.
Rather annoying!
