new outlook client : Windows 10 taskbar will not unhide

Hi, Cedric_LG

Good day!

Thank you for posting to Microsoft Community. We are happy to help you!

 

According to your description, I understand that you are experiencing an unexpected issue with New Outlook for Windows - For business.

Regarding your concern, would you like to give an attempt for Repair an Office application - Microsoft Support.

If the issue persists, in the meantime, as a workaround, would you like to give an attempt for reverting back to the previous version of your Outlook? - How to revert to an earlier version of Office (microsoft.com).

• Step 1: Set a reminder to enable automatic updates at a future date.
• Step 2: Install the previous version of Office: Check and download the version you want from Update history for Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise (listed by date)
• Step 3: Disable automatic updates for Office.

In addition, would you like to contact with New Outlook for Windows' specializing team directly? Contact support and provide feedback within the new Outlook for Windows - Microsoft Support.

Thanks for your precious time and your understanding would be highly appreciated.

Hope you all the best!

Hello - still waiting for a fix on the task bar not auto-hiding when Outlook is open. When will this be fixed? It is highly annoying and I don't want to have to hit the Windows key every time I want the task bar to appear. I have the auto-hide feature activated for a reason.

Clearly Microsoft has NO interest in fixing this. It is also clear that no one at Microsoft actually uses Outlook because it they did, the problem would have been corrected by now.

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.

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).

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

Thank you,
