Windows 10 task bar won't hide

I don't believe this to be true. When the task bar is set to auto-hide, it will auto-hide even if there are no windows/applications open.

I followed julin.014's suggestion. Instead of finding "explorer.exe", I found "Windows Explorer" in the lowest section, "Windows Processes". I right-clicked (two-finger touch) and clicked on the option "restart". The task bar immediately auto-hid.
