    How to automatically hide or fully remove taskbar/start menu? OCaY7TeA2dVvl9-RgfvwWmgMd8sHLN5HrCnarbJTXyA.jpg

    I am making an arcade machine using Windows 10 and a small computer.

    I would like to be able to streamline the start up process and overall presentation so that the user sees only a few desktop icons as options for games.

    I want to essentially hide all of the other UI.

    I have tried Kiosk Mode but that did not work well with the games I am using in the arcade - Sim City 2000, etc.

    So, my question is: "How do you automatically hide or fully remove the taskbar or start menu in Windows 10?

    I am using version 2004 by the way.

    So far I have only been able to use an option that hides it after the first click on the blank background. I need it to automatically hide. How can we do this?

    Thank you so much!

  2. hide the taskbar

    Hi

    my name is Dennis, I'm an independent advisor and I'll do my best to help today.

    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.

    Regards,

    Dennis.

  3. 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.

  4. How to automatically hide or fully remove taskbar/start menu?

    Taskbar hides and shows itself after opening start menu.

    Steps:

    1. Using HDMI for a second monitor.
    2. Open start menu using the icon.
    3. Close start menu using the icon.
    4. Click anywhere other than the task bars. (e.g. an open window, the desktop, even the first monitor's desktop)
    5. Taskbar on second monitor slides down to be hidden.
    6. Taskbar then immediately slides up to reappear.

    If after closing the start menu (step 3), you click on the taskbar, then click outside the taskbar, this behavior does not occur.

    Performing the steps on the main monitor's taskbar does not produce this behavior.

    This has been happening for as long as I can remember using this laptop (~3years), with different nVidia drivers and Windows 10 updates.
