    How can I turn off taskbar auto-unhide on notification?


    When an application needs my attention it forces the taskbar to unhide and makes the app icon flash until I click on it.

    What bothers me is that a lot of the time applications don't actually need my attention. For example, when Oculus or Spotify are finished starting up they require attention, or when I get a notification on teams despite turning every notification off.

    Also frustratingly, there seems to be a bug with windows where after I check an app that requires attention, the taskbar never re-hides and instead gets stuck until I restart my computer.

    Auto hide taskbar not unhiding

    This was working fine and for some unknown reason it stopped. I have the taskbar on auto hide and when I move my mouse to unhide, it will not show the taskbar. I did not change any settings or download anything new so do not know what happened. I tried taking
    auto hide off and it appears fine, then turned auto hide back on and still the taskbar will not unhide. Any suggestions how to get my taskbar to unhide without having to turn it on/off?

    I also can not close one window, it makes me close all windows. The little + sign is gone to open a new window I have to go to the right side, open the drop down menu and click New Window. None of this was like this yesterday, the taskbar worked perfectly
    so I am very confused. Please help me get my taskbar back to working normal again.

    Windows 10 taskbar will not unhide

    If the issue persist, try the following troubleshooting steps:

    • Right click on the Taskbar and then click Properties.
    • Uncheck Lock the taskbar and Auto-hide the taskbar.
    • Click on Apply and then OK to save the settings.
    • Restart the computer.

    How can I turn off taskbar auto-unhide on notification?

    (SOLVED/CLOSED)looking for help with Android phone CONSTANT wireless signal notification

    Yeah, thats not a solution she is interested in......I've suggested that course of action. Thanks though.

    Just to clarify, I feel that there MUST be a step, or series of steps to turn off JUST the wireless notification sound. Thats what Im driving @ here.
