  1. Pressing the "show desktop" button hides the taskbar?


    I've used the "show desktop" button for years now but suddenly it has started being wonky. When I press it now it completely hides the taskbar and it doesn't come back until I press the windows button on my keyboard. This is extremely irritating and fiddling with the taskbar options has not fixed this behavior at all. Googling around for the problem I can't seem to find anyone else with this particular bug. Windows + D and right click taskbar > show desktop exhibit this same behavior. I don't remember changing any related setting anytime recently so this whole things is baffling to me.

    :)

  2. 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.
