Windows 10: Stop taskbar from not autohiding when receiving notifications

Hi,

I am wondering if there is any way of stopping the Taskbar from not auto-hiding when one of my active programs, e.g. Skype, sends a notifcation. Answers I've seen on the forums are something like "To resolve your concern, we suggest that you click the little arrow at the left side of the system tray and check if there's a notification from an application that you need to see."


That is clearly not a solution, since this forces me to stop whatever I am doing to look at the notification. Preferably I would be able to choose whether or not these notifications should stop me from continuing my work or not (they stop me, since the taskbar is now forcefully blocking some of the functionality on the screen). I would like to be able to configure something like "auto-hide taskbar even in the event of notifications". So that I can look on the notification when I choose to, not when whatever app throwing the notification wants me to.

BR,

Mikael
