Windows 10: Windows 11 taskbar will not unhide

I have an issue with the taskbar, "Automatically hide the taskbar" option stays ALWAYS ON. I tried to unclick it, restart Windows Explorer, checked for any Windows updates but it keeps hiding the taskbar whenever i open any window in full screen. It is frustrating because now I have to move mouse to the end of the screen whenever I want to switch between apps. :/What else can I do to solve the issue?

Auto hide taskbar not unhiding

This was working fine and for some unknown reason it stopped. I have the taskbar on auto hide and when I move my mouse to unhide, it will not show the taskbar. I did not change any settings or download anything new so do not know what happened. I tried taking
auto hide off and it appears fine, then turned auto hide back on and still the taskbar will not unhide. Any suggestions how to get my taskbar to unhide without having to turn it on/off?

I also can not close one window, it makes me close all windows. The little + sign is gone to open a new window I have to go to the right side, open the drop down menu and click New Window. None of this was like this yesterday, the taskbar worked perfectly
so I am very confused. Please help me get my taskbar back to working normal again.

If the issue persist, try the following troubleshooting steps:

• Right click on the Taskbar and then click Properties.
• Uncheck Lock the taskbar and Auto-hide the taskbar.
• Click on Apply and then OK to save the settings.
• Restart the computer.

 

Windows 10 taskbar will not unhide

This makes the taskbar appear for a second, but it immediately disappears.

Before this update I had the opposite problem, which was that the taskbar would sometimes not automatically hide, and I could fix that by restarting windows explorer, but now the taskbar will not unhide at any time if I have any fullscreen window open.
