    Taskbar refuses to auto-hide


    Under "Taskbar and Start Menu Properties" I have checked the box labeled "Auto-hide the taskbar", but it doesn't hide itself nor can I move it down using the arrows. What can I do to fix this problem.

    There was another thread about this problem but it was last commented on more than a year ago and nobody had figured it out.

    Thank you


    :)

    Can you hide the taskbar in windows 10?

    It refuses to hide because you have something active on the taskbar. My main culprit was OneDrive trying to pull pictures from my phone. If it was active, it wouldn't auto hide.

    I opened "File Explorer window" but no "task manager" listed anywhere.

    I'm starting to think I have Windows 9 1/2 because I don't have what Windows 10 is supposed to have.
