Windows 10 - Taskbar visible on preview with shift + w

[bärbelr17143951]

If I do preview a document in a maximized Window of indesign, it is still shown the Windows taskbar.

When I do the preview in a not maximized window of indesign, the taskbar of Windows disapears.

Who can help?

I can't replicate this issue. However, if you press the tab key on and off it should toggle the visibility of the taskbar and other panels as well.

When I do the preview with shift + w, the preview is shown with the Windows Task bar. When I hit now Alt + Tab, and then again Alt + Tab, the Windows Task bar is gone. But this is not what I expect from a AAA product... it is poor Quality.

Shift-w toggles toggles back and forth between presentation mode and normal mode. Eliminate the shift and just use the letter w to toggle back and forth between preview and normal mode.

Have you right-clicked the Taskbar and chosen Settings? Maybe something in the settings of your taskbar is set wrong?

What version of InDesign are you on? This is a known issue on Windows 10, but I don't know if the latest patch addressed it. (That Mike and Barbara can't replicate it makes me think that it was fixed, or else they are on Macs.) The current version is 2017.1.
