Description
Please check for a duplicate first
- I have checked the issue tracker if my bug has already been fixed or answered in another (possibly closed) issue.
Steps to reproduce the issue
- Open the browser but not in full screen.
- Turn on the video on YouTube and open it in full screen (not the browser itself).
- Switch via Alt+Tab to another non-full screen application.
- Done, the taskbar does not consider that anything is open in full screen
Expected results
The taskbar should have taken the settings when the application was expanded to full screen
Actual results
The taskbar thinks I'm on the desktop and nothing is open in full screen
Windows version

Research direction
No source file or test is named. Reproduce the issue on Windows 11 build 22631.2715 using the listed YouTube fullscreen and Alt+Tab steps, then locate the taskbar's fullscreen-application detection path. Done means the taskbar recognizes the fullscreen video after switching applications and the behavior is covered by an appropriate regression check.
