    Taskbar not showing when full screen on second monitor with auto hide taskbar enabled

    Dual Monitors - Taskbar not auto-hiding on second display.

    Okay, just as a reply to anyone else curious. I found a temporary solution.

    - Right click the taskbar on main monitor and enable "Auto-hide the taskbar" and "Show taskbar on all displays".

    - Hit apply and then close out the menu.

    - Right click the taskbar and hover over "Cortana".

    - Enable the show search box.

    - The taskbars should pop up then come back down and be normal again for those with auto-hide checked off.

    I'm not sure if this is a permanent thing but I love having my bars auto hidden.

    Regards,

    Mike.
