Windows 10: What happened to the 'lock taskbar'? Automatically hide taskbar is not an acceptable answer.

I need to move the taskbar because Microsoft loves to put everything in the bottom right hand corner. When I am trying to adjust settings in Notification tray I am barraged with Teams messages in the bottom right hand corner. I know I am not the only one this annoys. Additionally the other reason is I could not click a button, and needed the taskbar to be moved to the left side or right. Not much of an improvement.

Hi

my name is Dennis, I'm an independent advisor and I'll do my best to help today.

follow these steps

1. On any blank area of your Windows 10 taskbar, right click to reveal a list of menu options.

2. At the bottom of the list of options, click on Taskbar settings.

3. In the Taskbar menu, ensure that the option for "Automatically hide the taskbar in desktop mode" is enabled by clicking to turn the small lever to the right of the option blue.

4. Your taskbar should disappear automatically once the hide options are enabled.

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:
