    Taskbar Won't Re-Hide Unless I Press Start and Then Click Outside Start


    This is really weird behavior. I have always set my taskbar to autohide through every iteration of windows. Lately I switched to windows 11 and noticed some annoying behavior. If I move the mouse curse down to the taskbar to say check the time the taskbar doesn't hide again when I move the cursor away. The only solution I have found to this is to click on the start menu and then click outside the menu that pops us.I have found several topics related to this, but not quite what I'm describing. The Taskbar does autohide, but not the way it should. I am sure this is not the intended behavior of

    :)

    Taskbar hides and shows itself after opening start menu.

    Steps:

    1. Using HDMI for a second monitor.
    2. Open start menu using the icon.
    3. Close start menu using the icon.
    4. Click anywhere other than the task bars. (e.g. an open window, the desktop, even the first monitor's desktop)
    5. Taskbar on second monitor slides down to be hidden.
    6. Taskbar then immediately slides up to reappear.

    If after closing the start menu (step 3), you click on the taskbar, then click outside the taskbar, this behavior does not occur.

    Performing the steps on the main monitor's taskbar does not produce this behavior.

    This has been happening for as long as I can remember using this laptop (~3years), with different nVidia drivers and Windows 10 updates.

    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.
