Windows 10: Taskbar bad

So when I play a game or use an app, the taskbar stays up even with automatically hide taskbar. This means when I play Minecraft, I can't see my items because of the taskbar. Or when I use discord, I can't type at all because of the taskbar.

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.
