Window 11 taskbar auto-hide turning off

Anonymous

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 think they may only work on Windows 11, because they directly open the Feedback Hub

    Your links try to open some sort of Feedback Hub, but they don't work. At least, not on my phone (Firefox).

    There are related bug reports in Windows feedback hub, which is probably a better place to report this

    AND VOTE on the reports!

    Thanks for this. I will set aside some time to try it. Have to reiterate though that the problem exists on my single-screen laptop now more than the dual screen (although that also freezes and refuses to go away sometimes still), so it's not just a dual-screen problem.

    Yeah, I'm seeing that it's probably just a short term fix and will probably pop up again randomly. Just mind boggling that they don't fix stuff like this but guess they have other bigger issues I'm sure....NOT!
