I had the same issue. I realised that a 3rd party start menu app called "startisback" was causing this. resolved using the following:

1. Go To Task Manager (CTRL+ALT+Del)
2.Run new task- Chrome.exe
3. Download and install Revo Uninstaller (if already Installed, skip step 2 and 3)
4. Back to task manager
5. Type Revouninstaller.exe
6. uninstall startisback (or any apps that you feel would conflict with the windows 8.1 taskbar)
NB: use basic unistall on this programme.

Hope this helps
