Reinstall your graphics drivers. Most likely some visual effect doesn't work properly and keeps the taskbar visible in full screen.

But won't it be fixed by a future Windows update?

It's possible but wouldn't hold my breath. I'm still waiting for MS to fix the Realtek sound driver problem. With every new Insider Dev build I have to manually select the HD sound driver in Device Manager to get my speakers working.

I think I no longer have this issue but I have a new PC.

I can get the taskbar to show on a YT video on full screen but only if I have a second monitor connected. If I left click on the desktop of the second monitor then the taskbar shows. To remove it just right click on video and left click away from the menu.
