I switched to Windows 11 a few weeks ago, and ever since then, the taskbar auto-hide quits working when the computer comes out of Sleep mode. I have to be away from the computer for a while before it will happen, and I believe it has something to do with me running dual monitors. When I wake my computer, my secondary monitor appears to come up faster than my primary by just a fraction. Once my primary is on, there is a message saying something about the taskbar already being hidden (I think) and the taskbar on my primary monitor has the taskbar up. When I go to Taskbar Behaviors, 'Automatically hide the taskbar' is no longer checked. I'll select it again, and it will work fine until the system goes back into Sleep mode for a while, again.

I experience the same problem. The auto-hide setting is not persistent following a shutdown. I always use auto-hide, and it is always disabled upon startup. Sometimes I operate with only my laptop screen, and sometimes a use a three-monitor setup using a two-monitor USB to HDMI adaptor. The problem presents regardless of whether I have single or multiple monitors.
Thanks for any help you can give!

I too have the same problem with the Autohide becoming unchecked.
But there is another problem. Many times when this happens, the icons on the taskbar and the Start button become unresponsive leaving me no choice but to restart.
I'm getting really frustrated.

Sorry guys but it's not just a Win11 issue. I am running Win10 have exactly the same issues - as I am sure both OS share some code likely to be due to a change in that. another clue to MS - anyone listening? When I get this error message the taskbar's autohide stops working. Is there another clue in that called 'toobar' in this error message?
How do you get a response from MS?
I am also having this issue. I am currently running on Win10 Professional with 3 monitors and the autohide turns off regularly. Very frustrating
I also have the same issue.
