Windows 10: Hide taskbar *only* on desktop

I am looking for the following solution. I came across this Reddit post from 5 years ago and I am reposting it since I couldn't; find a solution.

Hi, I'm looking for some help hiding my taskbar only when I have nothing opened (or everything minimized) and have the desktop open. I like to have the taskbar up when I'm doing things on my computer, but I would prefer it to be gone while I'm on my desktop, to better display my background. I have done some googling, and found many ways to hide the taskbar all the time, but no luck how to hide it only at particular times.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

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.

follow these steps

1. On any blank area of your Windows 10 taskbar, right click to reveal a list of menu options.

2. At the bottom of the list of options, click on Taskbar settings.

3. In the Taskbar menu, ensure that the option for "Automatically hide the taskbar in desktop mode" is enabled by clicking to turn the small lever to the right of the option blue.

4. Your taskbar should disappear automatically once the hide options are enabled.

Hello,

I Do not recommend you to use third party programs for that kind of things as it might cause system to dysfunction.

I suggest you follow these steps

Right-click on an empty area of the taskbar. (If you're in tablet mode, hold a finger on the taskbar.)

Click taskbar settings.

Toggle Automatically hide the taskbar in desktop mode to on. (You can also do the same for tablet mode.)
