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.

    It will be fixed in Windows 12 (maybe).

    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'm trying the setting to disable the taskbar on all screens and hope that this will fix the issue. On a side note, I have found that if my taskbar is not auto hiding I start windows explorer and then go into Task Manager, find Windows Explorer in apps that are running, right-click and click on Restart to fix it (at least temporarily).
