/// EDIT ///
I FINALLY fixed it!
Apperantly the integrated option from Windows 8 to enable the taskbar on all Monitors is bugged or just too stupid to handle this correctly. Here is what I did.
- Disabled the option to show the taskbar on all monitors from Windows 8
- Installed Ultramon
- Enabled the SmartTaskbar from it
And now everything works! Seems like the SmartTaskbar from Ultramon (Which is a option from Ultramon to show a taskbar on all monitors) is better than the Windows 8 standard option and can handle everything correct.
Thanks for your input!

Hey!
I finally decided to make the jump to Windows 8 for 15$ and it's working really really great for me - I'm mostly ignoring the Metro part of the new OS, added myself a start button on the desktop and it seems to be really good.
So far I have only one problem. It's when I play World of Warcraft in windowed fullscreen mode. I'm running a dual-monitor setup, on Windows 7, I could quickly alt-tab to any other program (even if it was on the second monitor) and the taskbar showed up in front of my WoW.
Now, with Windows 8, the taskbar doesn't show up if you alt-tab to a program that is on the second screen and not on the main-wow-screen. I used the alt-tab to quickly get to my start button and my pinned programs on my taskbar, which was very comfortable for me.
Right now, in order to get the taskbar on my main screen when I'm playing WoW, I have to press my windows button on my keyboard, and since I'm using a Steelseries 6gv2 I only have the right windows key and it's really not comfortable at all.
I already thought about remapping another key (for example capslock) to work as my windows key, but that would be one of my last solutions.
So I'm wondering if anyone else has the same problem and have found a solution yet?
Oh, and please no "Just install Windows 7 again, Windows 8 is only for Tablets" replys. Thanks.
