  1. auto hide of taskbar not working when firefox is on top


    I've run unto numerous problems with windows 10 and this appears to be one of them. I have an HP laptop bought at the wonderful Wally World (wal mart). I have the taskbar set to "auto hide" and the option "lock the taskbar" is checked. on every other machine I've had, this should cause the TB to hide itself when I move the cursor off the screen's bottom strip where the TB is located. this works fine on this new laptop except under 1 scenario: when firefox is the current window, so the one on top of all the others. in this case, I have to press the windows logo button to bring up the stupid TB.


    does anyone else think this is a windows issue? it's possible it could be a FF issue. I don't believe my version of FF is any newer than what I had on my previous laptop, and I worked on that old laptop and saw it working just 1 month ago.


    it should also be noted that right clicking on the TB and selecting "show desktop" doesn't work at all regardless of what app window is on top. see image.

  2. Auto hide taskbar not working

    I know how to 'auto-hide'!

    IT IS NOT WORKING - the frustrating thing is that this is a known problem and is not being addressed. It may appear to be a small matter but it is not. Wherever the taskbar is situated (top, bottom, either side) it covers part of the screen and is TOTALLY
    annoying!!!!!!!

    PLEASE FIX IT and help us all.

    how to effectively hide or disable the taskbar?

    Hi,



    Did you try the “Auto-hide the taskbar” option from Taskbar properties?



    If you have not tried it, I would suggest you to follow these steps and auto-hide the taskbar:

    • Right click on Taskbar.
    • Click on Properties
    • Check the box Auto-hide the taskbar.
    • Click on OK.


    Hope this information helps.
