Turning off "fullscreen optimizations" doesn't always work. It may not even be possible for DirectX 12.
If you press Start and the taskbar appears, its not fullscreen.
I wrote a simple Direct3D test program and entering fullscreen using alt-enter prevents start from appearing so DirectX 11.0 at least still supports fullscreen, for now.
