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

    I have the same question. More specifically, now that you have forced adoption of the new version of Outlook, why have you built it so that the task bar no longer appears when a user moves the mouse to the bottom of the screen? Frequently I need to access other applications while drafting an email so it is a serious interruption of work flow to have to minimize Outlook just to quickly fact check something in another window.

    Minimize outlook then resize using pointer to fill the screen down to the level of the task bar, keep this sizing and then the task bar will always show when pointer is at the bottom of the screen

    Mike, thank you for the useful work-around. It remains regrettable however, that Microsoft released an upgraded Outlook that breaks one of the more useful features of the operating system.
