Windows 10: Taskbar sometimes does not hide

Hey all,

I have noticed this for a while. I have the task bar set to auto hide - this works most of the time, but, occasionally it stays up on screen and won't hide. Not the end of the world, but, it would be good have this niggle solved.

Any ideas?

:)

 

Taskbar at bottom of screen

I have checked "auto hide taskbar" but in Windows 10 that simply does not always work (as with so many other things in Windows 10). Sometimes if I hide all the windows that I am trying to work with and then left or right click the desk top it will drop
down, but not this time. It is blocking some things that I need to work with. What does Windows 10 want other than "auto hide taskbar"???

 

Hide taskbar in Windows 10

Sometimes if you use the Search (Cortana) function on the Taskbar that won't hide then close the response, you will return to the task at hand and the Taskbar hides. Of course, if you click on the Taskbar to go to a different application, up it comes
again. Why not a Keyboard Shortcut to hide the Taskbar? CRTL-SHIFT-DOWN?

 

When Windows thinks you have unread notifications, the taskbar stays visible. Sometimes Windows messes up.

 

Interesting, I had notifications turned off - turned on with no new notifications, it still happens.....I will see what happens after a reboot.

Thanks for your input cameos
