I mentioned earlier that application notifications may prevent the taskbar from hiding on the Windows machine.

Now that you have checked the most common reasons why the Windows 10 taskbar is not hiding, you need to dig deeper if this did not resolve the issue. Before you troubleshoot other possible causes, this is the one thing that you should verify just to make sure.

While it seems unlikely that preferences may change on their own, this may happen after Windows upgrades for instance. Second thing you may want to do if the Windows 10 taskbar is not hiding anymore automatically, is to verify that the preferences are still set to hide the taskbar automatically. Also, make sure the mouse cursor is not on the taskbar, as it won't hide in this case either. The taskbar may remain visible in some cases until you do something, and clicking anywhere on the desktop is one of the easier things in this case. The first thing you may want to do is try and click anywhere on the desktop (a blank spot there), to see if the taskbar hides automatically when you do.
