Windows 10: windows 10 taskbar autohide disables every time i plug in

Is there a way to prevent the autohide taskbar feature from turning off every time I connect my laptop to a dock/external monitors? This used to work properly, but has for some time reset every single time I connect so I have to manually reset it every time.

Autohide Taskbar in Desktop Mode

Hi Niel,

In rare cases, you may be having an issue with Autohide Taskbar in desktop mode when you when you just recently did an upgrade on your PC. Autohide Taskbar Option might have got unchecked during the process. We would suggest you try the following steps to enable
Autohide taskbar and check if it makes any difference.

a. Right-click on the Taskbar.

b. Click on Properties.

c. Put a check mark next to ‘Auto-hide’ the taskbar.

d. Click on Apply and OK.

Update us with the result.

 

Windows 10 Login Taking a long time with autohide taskbar enabled

For awhile now, Windows 10 seems to have a problem with autohide on the taskbar enabled. When I have it enabled, it takes 30 seconds to get logged in to the desktop from the login screen versus 1-2 seconds without it.

I've looked around and apparently other people have had this issue too. The only workaround is disabling autohide.

I would at least like someone at Microsoft to know this is an issue. I miss autohide and having ample screen estate.

Thanks!
