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.
