    Okay so this just started happening today when it was perfectly fine previously. Basically my option is set to windowed (fullscreen) and for some reason my taskbar will always show up on the bottom of the game. It wont go away even with all other programs closed. I dont know why this just randomly started happening when it was working fine earlier. I tried changing it to fullscreen and back to windowed (fullscreen).

    Any reason why you are playing it like that? It minimizes fast without being windowed mode.

    Try turning off the windows key under options, and see if that helps.

    Hm i think it was a random glitch, i tried those and then just did a full restart and it fixed itself. Weird problem though because i don't wanna have to restart every time this happens.

    I had something similar to that with assassins creed with vista. It just stopped after awhile as well

    SC2 hates to be minimized for me. Have to run it in windows mode just to have that functionality.
