I selected auto hide.

Auto hide task bar

If I right click the task bar, I have no Auto Hide selection. How do I auto hide task bar?

 

Task bar wont auto-hide

I recently upgraded from win 8.1 to 10 and now my task bar wont auto-hide. I already set it to auto-hide in the setting menu but that did not help so please do not tell me to go to the setting and select auto-hide.

It is very annoying because the bottom of my screen is covered by the task bar and it blocks me from accessing content there unless I re-size the window smaller.

This appear to be a common problem but no one seems to have a solution. Can anyone help?
