How do I hide the Windows 11 taskbar? Would you like to hide the Windows 11 taskbar automatically? Similar to Windows 10’s auto-hide taskbar feature, Windows 11 also has an auto-hide feature. It’s buried under the Settings app, however, and you’ll need to dig it up. Auto-hide is a handy feature of the Windows 11 system tray when you are running full-screen applications and you want to hide the system tray when it is not in use. You should note that this feature only hides the taskbar when your mouse pointer is away from it. When you place the cursor on the taskbar again, the taskbar becomes visible. That is, while working with an application, if you want to open your favorite program from the system tray, just move your cursor over the system tray and it will become visible. Move the cursor away from the system tray to automatically hide it.
