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.

It's absurd this has not been fixed yet. I found some simple c++ code to toggle autohide.
I have created an executable with CMake, which can be downloaded from github.
Its a simple app that you can keep on your desktop (or anywhere), open it to toggle autohide.

Seriously, why is this still a thing? It's 2024 for .
This fix does not work, it is just how to turn it on, the issue is not turning it on, the issue is the setting not STAYING turned on, it turns off on its own after a certain amound of time.
It will be fixed in Windows 12 (maybe).
You're welcome. I was ready to do the same thing with my keyboard. Lol. Drove me nuts for months.
