    Autohide taskbar won't reappear when in any application


    Hey, so I have had auto hide taskbar as a setting as long as I can remember and as of a couple days ago when I have anything open, like chrome or steam my taskbar won't appear when I hover over it. It will appear when on the desktop screen but with anything open it won't work. I have done the typical trouble shooting of turning it off and on, restarting Windows explorer and restarting my laptop. The problem is still present, is there anything else I can try?

    :)

    Autohide Taskbar in Desktop Mode

    Hi Niel,

    In rare cases, you may be having an issue with Autohide Taskbar in desktop mode when you when you just recently did an upgrade on your PC. Autohide Taskbar Option might have got unchecked during the process. We would suggest you try the following steps to enable
    Autohide taskbar and check if it makes any difference.

    a. Right-click on the Taskbar.

    b. Click on Properties.

    c. Put a check mark next to ‘Auto-hide’ the taskbar.

    d. Click on Apply and OK.

    Update us with the result.
