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.

    Nice!!

    Just when I was about to throw the keyboard against the wall I noticed I had a reply with this update which in fact, works!

    (LOL, just joking, I wasn't going to do that... Or was I?)

    Thanks!

    I went into taskbar settings and unchecked the box "Show flashing on taskbar apps" and rechecked the box for "Show my taskbar on all displays" and that seems to have fixed my problem. Running Windows 11 Enterprise version 23H2. Taskbar has so far remained hidden.

    This is the error message I get when the PC wakes up from hibernation. It can also happen when it is woken from sleep mode. The error is random and I have not been able to get it to replicate by force. When this error comes up that is when the hide taskbar option then becomes unchecked in taskbar behaviors. My thought are that windows sees that both taskbars on each monitor are hidden and for some reason, this is not allowed. I never had this issue in Windows 10. I went back and did a clean install of Windowws 11 and all of the updates and yet the problem persists.

    I have exactly the same problem.
