Windows 10 guest not showing taskbar in seamless

Post by adambean »

Hey all,

Whenever I click the Windows start button and/or hit the Windows key on my keyboard, the taskbar disappears. One of two things happens:

1) It turns into a solid light blue color.
2) It shows the background of my host.

Running dual monitors, one at 1920, one at 3440. Same situation occurs on either screen. Only occurs when in seamless mode.

Thoughts?

Thanks

Any thoughts on this?

I removed the secondary virtual monitor, that didn't help. Removed 2d and 3d acceleration ... no change there either.

This issue does not occur with a seamless Win7 guest.

Any thoughts? This is awfully annoying.

Thanks

The odd thing with W7 vs W10 is that in W7, it retained my guest desktop when going seamless; however, with Win10 guest, it takes over the active desktop. Have a feeling this may be related?
