Windows 10: Auto-hide taskbar animation is not smooth

I was playing around with my taskbar, trying out the "Auto-hide Taskbar", and realised the animation was really bad and choppy. It was just a linear in and out, and didn't even run on my monitor's refresh rate. I looked online, and found out that on some UWP apps such as windows settings, when fullscreened, the animation was nice and smooth. So my question is this: why hasn't microsoft implemented this nice, smooth taskbar on windows, and only in some niche UWP apps only when fullscreened

How can i speed up the auto-hide feature of the taskbar?

Hi Valerio,



The Windows 10 taskbar is a pretty useful tool, but it's also one you might not want to see on your screen all the time. Auto-hiding the taskbar can be a great way to add a little extra space to your desktop. The delay of the auto-hide
feature of the taskbar is by design and you can only speed up the auto-hide feature of the taskbar by disabling the animation settings. To do that, follow these steps:

• Click the Start button, then type “Animations” and press
  Enter.
• Switch Play animation in Windows from
  on to off.

Let us know how it goes.

 

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.

Thank you for the answer,

I already knew about this solution, i was wondering if there is any registry tweak to speed up the taskbar. I assume that there isn't. (Please contradict me)
