    Auto-Hide Taskbar Doesn’t Appear with Mouse When Apps Are Open


    I’ve enabled the auto-hide feature for the taskbar on Windows, and it works fine on the desktop. However, when I open any application and try to access the taskbar by moving my mouse to the bottom of the screen, it doesn’t show up. I have to press the Windows key each time to make the taskbar appear.Has anyone else experienced this? Any solutions would be greatly appreciated!Details:My taskbar auto-hide setting is enabled and functions correctly when I’m on the desktop.The issue occurs only when another app window is open.Moving the mouse to the bottom doesn’t always make the taskbar appear; p

    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.

    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.

    Auto hide taskbar not unhiding

    This was working fine and for some unknown reason it stopped. I have the taskbar on auto hide and when I move my mouse to unhide, it will not show the taskbar. I did not change any settings or download anything new so do not know what happened. I tried taking
    auto hide off and it appears fine, then turned auto hide back on and still the taskbar will not unhide. Any suggestions how to get my taskbar to unhide without having to turn it on/off?

    I also can not close one window, it makes me close all windows. The little + sign is gone to open a new window I have to go to the right side, open the drop down menu and click New Window. None of this was like this yesterday, the taskbar worked perfectly
    so I am very confused. Please help me get my taskbar back to working normal again.
