Windows 10: Start Menu shows slow and lag when enabled Taskbar Auto Hide.

Hi, the latest Windows 10 Update (Release 1903) makes Start Menu shows laggy no matter I click the Windows key on the keyboard or click start menu button using the mouse.

The issue only occurred when Taskbar is set to "Auto Hide in Computer Mode". If I disable autohide of the taskbar, start menu shows fast and acts normal. I already restarted the computer and did regular checks, I hope Microsoft could take a look at this issue and maybe improve it in the future.

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 still showing up in 'Auto-hide' setting; Taskbar not showing on mouse hover in 'Auto-hide' setting; Start menu and Notification not showing when clicked.

1) Taskbar does not disappear even if I change my taskbar setting from 'auto-hide' to not and then back to 'auto-hide'. I have to restart everytime this happens.

2) Taskbar, when on 'Auto-hide', also not showing when I hover my mouse on the bottom of the screen. Taskbar is 'under' maximized applications (does not matter what application; Google Chrome, Sublime text, Adobe Reader, Microsoft Word, etc.). Have not
change taskbar settings from 'Auto-hide' to not then back to 'Auto-hide' for that taskbar to work normal again.

3) Start menu and Notification panel occasionally not showing up when clicked. Have tried the Powershell command solution; does not work. Have to restart computer to work properly again
