If the taskbar is set to auto-hide, and Outlook in full screen, the taskbar will not show up again, even when hovering the mouse over the edge of the screen.

With any other program, it works (the taskbar, comes out if hiding on top of the displayed program).

You have Microsoft Outlook Version 1.2023.831.400 (Production). Client Version is 20230904003.13 .

Edition Windows 10 Enterprise
Version 22H2
OS build 19045.3324
Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.19041.1000.0

    Except...No, it isn't.

    Microsoft pushed the new version on me this morning without even the option of declining or reverting, just a terse "Opening New Outlook" message (without even the perfunctory [OK] button to click), an abrupt closure of the old version and the launching of New Outlook in all it's buggy glory.

    Microsoft has NOT fixed the problem and they have exacerbated it by making it impossible to revert to a working version.

    we shouldn't have to do that.

    they need to ask CoPilot how to fis this.

    and also ask how to make the notifications work for ALL email accounts not just Primary and secondary and ALSO PLAY THE SOUND

    If you do not have a second monitor, you can also OPEN a Second DESKTOP just for Outlook and related..

    To leave Outlook open and NOT have the toolbar issue:

    • Open a 2nd Desktop (icon on the toolbar) and then Open Outlook on the new Desktop 2, All the bad behavior of not hiding the toolbar only occurs when Desktop 2 is active/on top. But when Desktop 1 with all your other open APPS- is active the toolbar hides/unhides just fine/as it should. On Desktop 2 you just have to hit the Windows key for the toolbar or to get back to Desktop 1.

    This is a Workaround anyway until this is fixed properly.
