Windows 10: Completely hide/disable the taskbar in Windows 10

I know that it is possible to make the taskbar hidden, but when you mouse over it, it will pop up, and even when it's hidden, there's a thin line visible.

Is there any way to edit the registry or something to make the taskbar completely hidden? If there's not, someone please tell me an app that hides the taskbar. I already used "Taskbar Hider" (the one that has a frog icon), but sometimes when certain apps open or close, the taskbar will appear again, but the app thinks it's still hidden. I have tried compatibility mode and administrator mode, but nothing was different. Is there an app that is compatible with Windows 10?

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.

Hide taskbar in Windows 10

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

I understand your concern regarding the issue that you are facing.

One of the most likely causes of auto-hide not working is the Action Center which provides alerts if your system hasn't updated in a while. The Action Center is the system tray icon of a white flag. To determine if it is what is
preventing auto-hide from working, click on it in the System Tray, then close the window that appears. If Auto-Hide starts working that was the cause. It can be disabled:

• Open the Control Panel.
• Open "Notification Area
  Icons" (use the search box at the top right if you don't see this listed)
• Towards the bottom of this window click the text link: "Turn System Icons On or Off"
• Change "Action Center" to
  OFF.

You can refer to the followings steps to enable the auto-hide taskbar.

• Right click on task bar and select properties.
• Select "Auto hide the Taskbar"
• Save the changes by clicking on Ok.

Note: See that “Lock the Taskbar” is not enabled. If it is, you may disable it by right-clicking on taskbar and un-checking it.

Hope this information helps you. Kindly post back with the updated issue for further assistance.



Thank you.
