One of the most recognized elements of Windows 10 is undoubtedly its taskbar from which we will have the possibility to perform multiple actions such as:
- Access utilities such as Task Manager
- Create new virtual desktops
- Display the Cortana toolbar
In the case of the latest Windows 10 updates, these have an option which allows the taskbar to be hidden automatically so that we can have a better desktop view from certain types of tasks. At some times when we are watching a movie or image in full screen, the annoying taskbar appears and is not hidden . This error is quite common as well as annoying, so it is useful to have alternatives to avoid it.
With the use of this new automatic taskbar hiding feature in Windows 10, the taskbar should automatically hide after a while when the system is idle but in some situations this does not happen which can interrupt the action for which we have activated affecting the visualization. This is very common when we use the full screen mode in presentations, movies, videos or images..
TechnoWikis brings alternatives to correct this problem in Windows 10 and thus enjoy our desktop to the fullest.
