Windows 10: Is it possible to hide the taskbar only when a window is maximized?

I am wondering if there is any way to get the taskbar to hide only when a window is maximized. I have seen a couple solutions out there, but the few that I saw did not work for multi-monitor setups (they hid all of my task bars on all screens when just one screen had a maximized window).

The solution that I have seen is StartTaskbar which only works for single monitor setups.

Does anyone know of a solution to get the task bar to hide when a window is maximized?

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.

 

Taskbar hiding behind maximized window in Windows 10

Hello Carlo Fer,

I did not notice any updates before the problem occurred.

I have tried rebooting several times. I have checked the taskbar settings. I moved the taskbar to the top of the screen and then back to the bottom as someone suggested on the forum.

To be clear, I have the Taskbar set to Autohide.

It works as it should, i.e. hiding until the mouse hovers over the bottom of the screen, until the screensaver activates and I enter my password to dismiss it. Then, all windows are minimized even if I had one maximized when the screensaver activated.
The behavior begins with the next screen I maximize. The Taskbar stays hidden behind the maximized screen. I can press Win-T and the taskbar will appear, but as soon as it hides, it will not reappear. If I toggle F11 to full screen and back to normal, then
the taskbar starts behaving normally, i.e. hiding until the mouse hovers over the bottom of the screen.

I can duplicate the problem by putting the pc in sleep mode and then waking it up and signing in again. If I immediately maximize a screen and hover the mouse up and down over the bottom edge of the screen, the Taskbar will work for a few seconds, then
it will disappear and not work until I toggle F11 or hit Win-T.

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.
