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.
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
My problem was with Discord. I have it set to autoload on startup. If you have a notification the taskbar will not hide. I disabled Taskbar flashing and this fixes it sometimes, but when it doesn't I have to open the Discord window and then close it. Disabling Notifications would be better but I don't want to do that. Discord needs to fix this.
It's Armoury Crate again! They were also responsible for severe visual downgrades do to lousy GPU swapping on this laptop.
Thank you so much for this reply, symphonia117.
does not work
I updated my computer a few days ago and my taskbar started auto hiding. I don't like that so I turned it off. When I restarted my computer it worked fine.
I just woke my computer up. The auto hide is turned off, but it's still hiding. I've checked and unchecked the box. Restarted my computer 2-3 times and it's still hiding.
I have this exact same issue. i turn on automatically hide task bar in exactly the way mentioned by the microsoft support team, then when the machine goes to sleep the option unchecks itself. i too am running dual displays
