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.

    Under windows update go down to the bottom block that says windows insider program and click on it. If you are signed up it will show your level and if not it will offer you to sign up.

    The only thing I could find about the problem is that users in the Insider Program are separate from the non-insider users.

    I think you need to log in with a non-insider account to view these Feedback Hub posts or that's my best guess.

    It would be ironic if the bug report app had a bug like this.

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

    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.
