Windows 10: Taskbar Autohide error

I'm running Windows 11 and have the taskbar autohide option activated. I've been having a Problem, that whenever I restart or reboot my laptop. The taskbar does not autohide and remains in its place; I open Windows Explorer from the task manager, restart it once, and the problem is resolved. But it happens again when I restart my laptop. What could be the reason? Need Guidance!

Autohide Taskbar in Desktop Mode

Hi Niel,

In rare cases, you may be having an issue with Autohide Taskbar in desktop mode when you when you just recently did an upgrade on your PC. Autohide Taskbar Option might have got unchecked during the process. We would suggest you try the following steps to enable
Autohide taskbar and check if it makes any difference.

a. Right-click on the Taskbar.

b. Click on Properties.

c. Put a check mark next to ‘Auto-hide’ the taskbar.

d. Click on Apply and OK.

Update us with the result.

 

Taskbar covers window (not autohide)

for an unknown reason the taskbar now covers the bottom of my windows. I do not want to "autohide taskbar". I never had to set this before and I dont want to now.
The advice given here previously does not work (to stop the process) because the instructions are wrong, the processes it suggests do not exist!
