Window 11 taskbar auto-hide turning off

Is there any danger of this issue being resolved?

I can almost see 2024 out my office window, I am fully updated Win 11, and am still having this issue with dual monitors.

Merry Happy Holidays Christmas everyone

I had this exact same problem (taskbar re-enabling after waking from sleep) with dual monitors on the latest windows 11. I have found a permanent automated solution so I thought I would share for anyone else reading this. This will save you countless minutes (possibly hours) constantly disabling this annoying taskbar reset behaviour.

I used two different solutions from two different forums (including this one) to come up with this (Bjorn.be and also another one, both listed at the bottom of this post).

Steps:

Open task scheduler

"Create task..." (NOT basic task)

Name: "Turn On Auto-Hide Taskbar when Computer Wakes"

Check "Run with highest privileges"

• Triggers: (There are 3 triggers you need to enter)
• Trigger 1: (~~~this trigger is when the system resumes from sleep - EVENT ID 107)
  • New...
  • Begin the task: On an event
  • Log: System
  • Source: Kernel-Power
  • Event ID: 107
• Trigger 2: (~~~this trigger is when the computer resumes from standby (NOT SLEEP) - EVENT ID 566)
  • New...
  • Begin the task: On an event
  • Log: System
  • Source: Kernel-Power
  • Event ID: 566
• Trigger 3: (~~~this trigger is when the computer turns on and is logged in)
  • New...
  • Begin the task: At startup
• Actions:
  • Action: Start a program
  • Program/script: powershell
  • Add arguments: -command "&{$p='HKCU:SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StuckRects3';$v=(Get-ItemProperty -Path $p).Settings;$v[8]=3;&Set-ItemProperty -Path $p -Name Settings -Value $v;&Stop-Process -f -ProcessName explorer}"
• Conditions: leave all options unchecked
• Settings:
  • Check "Allow task to be run on demand"
  • Check "Run task as soon as possible after a scheduled start is missed"
  • If the task fails, restart every: 1 minute
  • Attempt to restart up to: 1 times
  • Stop the task if it runs longer than: 1 hour
  • Check "If the running task does not end when requested, force it to stop"
  • At the bottom select "Do not start a new instance"

And there you have it friends. Enjoy.

Event ID: 566 - Description: The system has resumed from standby

Event ID: 107 - Description: The system has resumed from sleep  

*Event ID: 42 - Description: The system is entering sleep*  

These are the two forums I got the answers from:  [https://www.makeuseof.com/windows-11-hide-taskbar-shortcuts/](https://www.makeuseof.com/windows-11-hide-taskbar-shortcuts/)  [https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10362017/need-to-run-a-powershell-script-every-time-system-wakes-up-from-sleep](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10362017/need-to-run-a-powershell-script-every-time-system-wakes-up-from-sleep)  Here is a pic of the triggers:  [https://i.stack.imgur.com/A5dcO.png](https://i.stack.imgur.com/A5dcO.png)

After installing the display update my problems went away, but they're back now. Instead of waiting until Microsoft solves this problem I've search - and found - a shortcut to set the menu to automatically hide the taskbar again.

It's all explained here: https://www.makeuseof.com/windows-11-hide-taskbar-shortcuts/

I realize this isn't a solution, but it's more than MS has to offer atm...

Just FYI, I unchecked "show my taskbar on all displays" and it's been two days since I had to manually re-check automatically hide the task bar. So, if you're okay with not seeing the taskbar on the second monitor, this may work for you.
