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

    Microsoft, please fix this already. We shouldn't have to use workarounds. Thanks.

    Still not fixed and..
    Same for Windows 11 23H2.

    Latest New Outlook -fresh uninstall/re-install from the MS store.

    Also cannot import *.ICS files. drag and drop, double clicks any METHOD.

    The default Calander is NOT populated on the ICS import screen. The DROPDOWN is DISABLED and inturn the IMPORT button is also disabled.

    They TAKE away working MAIL AND CALENDER apps (well semi-working/stable) to give us ones with non-working basics.

    To not support importing events/meetings/DOCTORS APPOINTMENTS etc IS absurd!

    I went back to old Outlook long ago. It is painfully obvious MS has no desire to supports its hardware.

    Thank you,

    Jim Reis

    This has been a constant issue to me and took me some time to find this thread. Please fix this as it is eternally annoying to have to resize the window on a laptop. My work flow is to go from maximized app to maximized app (to use as much screen real-estate as possible), and if I switch to Outlook, and only Outlook (not Excel or Word, or anything else), the taskbar goes away and will not come back.

    PLEASE FIX THIS! This and the incredibly pushy One Drive implementation have me second guessing MS in general for my business (yes it is that bad).

    Totally agree with this point, all this forum keeps on asking is to go to feedback forum. My users was frustrated with this one item so I told them to go back to the previous Outlook client.
