Windows 10: Hiding taskbar

New laptop in December, no touch screen, up to date Windows as of 2021-‎01-‎16.


I have my taskbar on the bottom of the screen and set to hide automatically in desktop mode.. When I move the cursor down to the bottom of the screen the taskbar pops up but then remains there even when I move the cursor back up the screen. The only way I know to make it disappear is click the start icon on the lower left, move the cursor up and to the right away from the pop-up to an inactive part of the screen, then left click. The task bar then drops off the screen. It should he hiding automatically without my having to click -click. I have tried auto-hide in tablet mode setting too but no difference.


On my other computers, the task bar pops up when I move the cursor to the bottom, then disappears automatically when I move the cursor back up.


Any fix for this?

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.
