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.

2024-02-12T19:06:10+00:00 Yeah, I'm seeing that it's probably just a short term fix and will probably pop up again randomly. Just mind boggling that they don't fix stuff like this but guess they have other bigger issues I'm sure....NOT!

It varies as to how it comes about, sometimes with an error message, sometimes happens even though still showing autohide option is checked, sometimes not. Just random. I'm optimistic restarting windows explorer will work as it immediately hid the bar when restarted and it's not showing again though I'll admit it's early. Crossing fingers.
