Windows 10: Taskbar

I have another issue.

When the Task bar is at the bottom of the screen it will not auto hide even after I have checked the auto hide box. It somehow stays locked. I have now resorted to moving it to the right side of the screen but that is problematic in itself as it is brought up every time I want to scroll down in a document or app.

Is there a fix for this that is permanent?*Think

Thanks

:)

 

TASKBAR

Hi Patricia,

Right click your Taskbar and make sure 'Lock the Taskbar' is not ticked, if it is untick it

Drag the top of the Taskbar down as far as it goes

If you still need the Taskbar smaller, right click the Taskbar and choose 'Taskbar Settings

On the Settings Page, turn on 'Use Small Taskbar Buttons'

Close the Settings App

When finished, right click the Taskbar and choose 'Lock the Taskbar'

That's about it !

 

how to eliminate up/down arrows in taskbar and show all icons

You need to resize the Taskbar.

Right click the Taskbar, then uncheck the lock taskbar

Place your mouse pointer at the edge the drag it up.

Also, you can try using small icons on the Taskbar to accomodate more icons.

Right click the Taskbar

Click Taskbar settings

Under Taskbar, click User small taskbar buttons.
