Here's how to Fix Auto-Hide Taskbar not working in Windows 11.

Here are some ways to fix Auto-Hide Taskbar not working in Windows 11:

1. **Check the taskbar settings.** Make sure that the "Automatically hide the taskbar" option is enabled. You can do this by right-clicking on the taskbar and selecting "Taskbar settings." Under "Taskbar behaviors," make sure that the checkbox next to "Automatically hide the taskbar" is checked.
2. **Restart Windows Explorer.** Windows Explorer is a critical process that manages the taskbar. If it is not running properly, the taskbar may not work correctly. To restart Windows Explorer, press `Ctrl`+`Shift`+`Esc` to open Task Manager. Click on the "Processes" tab and find "Windows Explorer." Right-click on it and select "Restart."
3. **Run SFC scan.** SFC (System File Checker) is a built-in tool that can scan for and repair corrupted system files. To run SFC scan, open Command Prompt as an administrator and type the following command:

```
sfc /scannow
```

This may take a few minutes to complete.

4. **Update Windows.** Windows updates often include fixes for known bugs and issues. To check for updates, open Settings - Update & Security - Windows Update and click Check for updates.
5. **Reset the taskbar.** If you have tried all of the above and the taskbar is still not working, you can try resetting it. To do this, open Settings - Personalization - Taskbar and click Reset.

If you are still having problems with the taskbar, you can contact Microsoft support for help.
