    Windows is Forcing me to Autohide taskbar


    I powered on my Surface Pro 8 with Windows 11 for the first time in a few days and the task bar has changed without my action or consent. It is bigger than it used to be with larger icons and a more "tablet feel", and is now auto hiding to a very slim taskbar with no icons but a dumb line on it. Clock, wifi, speakers, language are still visible in the bottom RH corner, but all very slim. I hate this change and I want to revert back. I tried Taskbar Settings -> Taskbar -> Taskbar Behaviors and the "Automatically Hide the Taskbar" option was already unchecked. I restarted the machine. Tas

  3. 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.

    Taskbar covers window (not autohide)

    for an unknown reason the taskbar now covers the bottom of my windows. I do not want to "autohide taskbar". I never had to set this before and I dont want to now.
    The advice given here previously does not work (to stop the process) because the instructions are wrong, the processes it suggests do not exist!
