Windows 10: Windows 11 Turn off Taskbar staying open when an app turns orange.

Pretty much as the title says, whenever an app turns orange such as on boot or when an update finishes or a message is received the app will turn orange and the task bar will not hide until I click on it.I'd like the task bar to hide as normal even with these orange apps. Ideally, I'd like the apps to stay orange but just not keep the taskbar shown.

Turn On or Off Show Color Only On Taskbar in Windows 10


Hey Shawn it turns out there is a way to have different color taskbar and title bars and I found it with a simple google search. Maybe you can add this in your tutorial. It's quite simple:

Step one turn off "show color on start, taskbar, action center and title bar" in settings/personalization/colors.

Step two open registry and navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\DWM.
Set "ColorPrevalence" to 1.

That's it now you have different color taskbar and title bars. If you turn on "show color on start, taskbar, action center and title bar" "ColorPrevalence" goes back to 0 and you have to do it all over again.

I just don't understand why this isn't included as an option in settings. Anyway cheers.
