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.

Forgot to say that the switch from Win10 Pro to Win11 Pro fixed the jumbled up windows placement and resizing and the taskbar always hid properly with Win`10 Pro, but with the latest Win11 Pro update, the taskbar hiding issue came up which I've never seen before. I'm fairly certain it's gone now by uninstalling Microsoft Teams.
As a matter of fact, since I noticed this reason, I always searched for a "hanging" notification. This resolved all my problems the last few weeks. Maybe not all the notifications are really visible?
You're right about one thing: it's the notifications from pinned apps. I've been paying attention to when it goes off the rails, and that's the precipitating factor. Short of turning off notifications for all the apps, how did you fix the problem?
Hello all, does it really make sense for someone to write here every few days that they have the same problem? Solutions would be better. For me, the AutoHide works ok 95% of the time. In most cases it was a message/change in one of the pinned programs' that prevented the hiding.
Having the exact same issue here, please fix this! It's really hard to work with Teams and other items when the taskbar keeps turning off auto-hide.
I've been on W11 since it first officially came out and this behavior just changed for me in the last two months or so.
