    Autohide taskbar after X seconds


    Hello,

    Just wanted to know whether it was possible to auto hide the Win10 taskbar after X number of seconds or minutes?

    Does anyone know how to do this?

    Cheers!

  2. Build 14271 - dual display - taskbar problem with auto hide on

    I've now tried all the suggestions in the posts above without any success at all. However .... I have also booted into safe mode. In this mode my second monitor doesn't work, only the primary monitor (the panel on my laptop) and in this situation the
    taskbar IS properly displayed on the laptop panel when the taskbar is set to autohide. On rebooting into normal mode the problem reappears if my second monitor is connected. No matter how I set up the taskbar icons, they do not display on the laptop panel
    when the taskbar is set to autohide but they do appear and work properly on my second display.

    If I disconnect the second display then the taskbar on the laptop panel DOES work properly. The problem relates to the connection of the second display. If it's connected then the taskbar does not work properly on the laptop panel if autohide is on. If
    the second monitor isn't connected then the taskbar does work properly on the laptop.

    I first noticed this when I was upgraded to build 14271. I am now on build 14279.

  3. TaskBar Malfunctioning (AutoHide as well as Task Bar Menu deficiencies)

    My Windows 10 Taskbar does not consistently autohide. It will autohide for a while and then stops. Also, the taskbar will not hide behind programs like MS Word when I am typing. I need to see the bottom of the screen and the taskbar blocks my view. When
    I go into the Taskbar Properties and Start Menu to again autohide the taskbar, none of the changes I click (like move taskbar) will work, and it still shows the autohide taskbar box with a checkmark. The only solution is to re-boot until the next time the
    malfunction occurs.

    Please help.

  4. Autohide taskbar after X seconds

    Hi

    Is it that you want to be able to control the specific time before it hides or do you just want it to hide?

    Hi. I want to control a specific timespan when it hides. E.g. I am using the taskbar, then I move my mouse away from the taskbar, and it auto-hides, after 60 seconds. (not auto hide immediately).

  7. That is what I thought and before I suggested our current tutorial I thought I would ask.

    I would think it is possible although I don't know specific key, maybe a registry guru will know. I searched Google, as I'm sure you did, with no hints found that it is something you can set.

    If you find please post back as I'm sure some else has the same question.
