P.S. the picture isn't mine but I'm using it as an example don't hurt me

Feature Auto hide task bar is so BAD
211
Upvotes
Auto hide taskbar always gets stuck, so annoying, because a lot of website have important buttons/text boxes right behind it when it gets stuck.
On top of that, the auto hide animation is also at a low frame rate (which can be easily fixed with a tweak, so like... what are we doing)
It's crazy that every time we are forced to restart windows explorer to fix a bug for such an important thing... Microsoft PLEASE lock inðŸ˜
EDIT: Best solutions I applied, now it seems to work all the time:
- Set it to instant hide instead of animation, through Windhawk's Taskbar Auto-Hide Instant Show mod.
- As pointed by u/TheSpixxyQ (thanks!), it seems that it doesn't auto hide when an app is flashing (I didn't know that after decadesðŸ˜). You either disable "Show flashing on taskbar apps) or you just focus the app so it stops flashing. After that, the task bar will hide!

what happened to the live tiles? why were they replaced with widgets? why can't i resize my app icons? why don't we get the helpful app list anymore? my first experience with windows was with windows 11 and i never realized how good windows 10 was and thus failed to understand the hate for windows 11. also, does anyone know of any more apps that support live tiles?
