Windows 10: How can I tell which app is keeping my taskbar from hiding without having to click on each app?

Example: I have my Win10 Enterprise Taskbar set to Auto Hide. Sometimes, I face an issue where I am unable to view the bottom part of my application as the taskbar doesn't auto-hide. To resolve this, I either have to relocate the taskbar or click on all the applications on my taskbar until I locate the one that's trying to convey a trivial message.

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.

App for auto-hiding the taskbar based on tablet mode and orientation


Although there is an existing paid-app that automatically hides the taskbar in tablet mode, I wished for more functionalities. I ended up writing a little application and would like to share it with anyone looking for something similar.

Features:

• Auto-hide taskbar can be turned on or off independently for each combination of tablet mode and screen orientation.
• Install for all users.
• Free and open source.

You can download the application here.
