Window 11 taskbar auto-hide turning off

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.

    Yepper that the same message we all get. Ever since moving to Beta build 22623.1020 that message still pops up but the hide checkbox remains checked so the taskbar will still hide itself. Most times it also caused the bottom of any open windows to draw away from the bottom of the screen by the same distance as the height of the taskbar.

    That forces me to resize those windows so they skirt the bottom of the screen. Sometimes it doesn't affect the window size but most times it does. You'd think that MS would've fixed this years ago.

    Whatever updates downloaded in the last week or two, seems to have solved the problem for me. Fingers crossed.

    I had this problem for 4 months (Mar - June) and then after Updates on 6/22, which included an Intel driver, I went for over 4 months, until 11/2, without a reoccurrence. I've had it happen 3 times since then. No Updates occurred on that date.

    I am running Windows 11 Ver 21H2 and according to HP all my drivers are up to date.

    Has anyone updated to Ver 22H2 and seen any change?

    Can it be? Yesterday I installed this driver:

    Intel Corporation - Display - 31.0.101.3302

    and the problem seems to be gone. (Knock on wood.)
