Games load behind taskbar or windows

Hello,

Im new to retrobat, and emulation in general, so far I am mostly managing the build of my first system.  I am encountering one frustrating issue, however when I load a game it loads behind the taskbar, if I have any windows open (even minimized) they open atop the game.

What makes it annoying, is this is jot a consistent issue.  Im going through all my games to pare down the collectio. To only games I will actually play.  As I go through I can get 20-30 in a row that will open under other windows, then another 10-20 where everything opens fine and I can play the game.

EDIT: this issue seems to only occur when I am using retroarch cores, when using standalone emulators, this is not an issue

Retrobat 6
Win 11
I9-11900h
No graphics card

Settings in Batgui

FULL SCREEN - Enabled
FORCE FULL SCREEN - Enabled

Prior to posting Ive google and found that enabling play intro video can resolve this.  In my case it has not.  I have enable Intro video and Random Video enabled.

Have you tried to disable the force full screen to see if that helps... some emulators have a built in full screen setting which you can change for those system separately.

Thanks for the tip. Didn't work sadly.

I have the same problem with the taskbar in Windows 11, but with all systems.
Any help or advice other than changing the operating system .
Thanks in advance

From the options in the system settings, activate the developer option. In deactivation, maintenance, there is a large ES that appears before the game launches. Well, this great ES allows you to automatically put the Windows taskbar in the background.

how does on activate the developer options? i don't see any deactivation or maintenance sections.

Hello

Not sure which option you're talking about.
But most of the time, using an intro video allow to Retrobat to take the focus

i was just curious as to what GaboHanzo was referring to

I was referring to how to hide the taskbar when running a game.

But this is to mask ES, not the taskbar...

It worked for me when I changed that option. Since I always had to click with the mouse on the game screen to hide the taskbar.
