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.

    With all of the AI development and that they are so heavily involved in it, one would think that they could have AI run the code and find out what is causing this issue that they cannot seem to resolve.

    Does that mean it won't be an issue in the next non-beta release?

    That is promising to hear. I am ALSO on the BETA program and (what appears to be) the same build (26120.3576 ge_release). I know they are rolling bulids out at different times to different users. I had given up and turned sleep off completely to avoid the issue.

    I'd pretty much forgotten about this issue as I'm now back on the beta channel running build 26120.3576 and don't see it anymore.
