Windows 10: Microsoft Edge Bar is on top and hiding system tray icons

I'm using Microsoft Edge Bar and the problem is, that it's hiding underneath it the system tray icons. So if I open the hidden system tray icons it opens yes, but under the Edge Bar. This is annoying, does anyone else have this problem? Or solution to this? I have tried to search the settings for the resolution but nothing helpful there...

My task bar won't hide.

Hi,


Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.



I understand the inconvenience you are facing. Let me help you in resolving the issue.

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.
