Windows 10: Windows 11 auto-hide task bar is off but the bar still hides.

Hello,I'm using a 2-in-1 laptop and I love to have my taskbar always visible while in the touch screen mode. However, the option: "Automatically hide the taskbar" is unchecked and that is what I want. Yet my taskbar always hides regardless of the application I'm using. How do I solve this? To clarify, when I'm using my stylus to write/draw, I want to have my taskbar always visible.

Auto hide task bar turns off

Hello, ever since my computer decided it would be a good time to upgrade to windows 11 I've had issues with auto hide task bar. Any time i walk away and my system goes to sleep (quite often because i move around and work) when i log into my system and it opens i have an alert box informing me that Auto hide task bar is already enabled and cant be enabled again. Closing notification i noticed that auto hide task bar wasn't working. I go into the preferences tab only to see that auto hide is no longer enabled and i need to enable it once again. I've been doing this daily ever since my system updated to 11. I hope there is a proper fix so i no longer need to do this.
