Windows 10: is there a faster easier way to hide the taskbar in windows 10?

I KNOW how to hide the Taskbar using the automatic hide option. I usually want the Taskbar to show, however there are times when I want it to drop away for a period of time while using some web pages. Is there a foster way to do this without having to go into Settings etc? My computer is sslloooww and takes a while to respond to requests to go to a new page etc. It seems to me that Windows 7 (I think??) had an easier way to get this done?

Thanks for any help that anyone can give.

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.
