Windows 10: task bar wont stay hidden?

jason sine submitted problem with task bar wont stay hidden. also that task bar wont stay hidden because it is already hidden on another screen. the thread we were on was closed the same day so i couldnt give him this solution to try. To hide the taskbar on another screen in Windows 11, go to Settings > Personalization > Taskbar > Taskbar behaviors and uncheck the box next to "Show my taskbar on all displays.". This will ensure the taskbar only appears on your primary monitor. Key points:Access settings: Open the Start menu, then click on "Settings". N
