When I play the game windowed mode but maximized, the game doesnt lock my mouse into the game, so when I look down it exits the game and effects the task bar which causes it to @alt tab@ from the game.
For example I will be mining & looking down, and if I move my mouse too far down, BAM! It click open google chrome & takes me out of the game.
***Just realised you cant see my mouse pointer in the screen shots, but I assure you the problem is real & its making the game slightly unplayable, please beleive me 😞 ***
**Look at the bottom of the screen shots where my mouse is, it shouldnt be out of the game, & because its out of the game the menu should appear but this glitch stops that so although its out of the game, I can still look around in the game**

So I found a program you can download called Cursor Lock which makes the windows 10 version of Minecraft playable.
http://www.snakebytestudios.com/projects/apps/cursor-lock/
Setup User Mode with the Lock set to Window Interior, designate whatever hot keys you wanna use for Locking/Unlocking, save it and then run the 'Start User Mode'. Problem solved.
I would like to comment that this issue still exists as of the current Windows 10 version (1.2.5). I have dual monitors, and neither fullscreen or windowed mode locks the cursor to the Minecraft game window - which kinda makes playing this version on a multi-monitor setup clunky.
The "Cursor Lock" app above seems to help with the issue, but I am looking forward to a fix from Mojang soon!
Thank you for your report!

Ok I think I fixed it, I set screen safe area to 0% and now my mouse no longer goes off screen onto my 2nd monitor and I don't see the taskbar or the explorer bar at the top.
I have 2 monitors so this issue makes it pretty much impossible to play this version of the game, and I know I'm not the only one with a simple Google search. Full Screen does not solve the problem cause it's just an unbordered window. So when I look too far to the side my mouse trails off to my second monitor, which then makes it impossible to click on anything in game as it just clicks onto whatever my mouse is hovering over on my other screen (or the task bar as the OP experienced).
