![]() ![]() The Taskbar in Windows 11 is simply broken, and is in dire need of a complete fix (and absolutely must have more options for customization, position etc.). Yep, and as of the last update, it's only gotten worse - now my taskbar is empty until approximately 5 to 10 seconds after I manually unhide the auto-hidden taskbar (right-click) on any of my additional displays. Ran DISM with various switches (0 errors).ĭownloaded the Win11 ISO and ran an in-place reinstall while retaining my user data. Either I could wait on chat for the next available tech with no indication of a wait time, or they could schedule a callback 10 days from now! I opened a case via support chat with MS, but after jumping through hoops for a couple hours, I was referred to level 2 support. Simply put - the taskbars are there, but the ones that aren't on the Main Display won't automatically unhide when moving the cursor to the bottom of the screen. When I switch back to "automatically hide the taskbar" then the taskbars won't reappear on the external monitors as expected. If I disable "Automatically hide the taskbar", then the taskbar shows properly on all displays. HOWEVER, even though the taskbar on the external monitors doesn't automatically popup when I move my cursor to the bottom of the screen, I can left or right click at the bottom of the screen then the hidden taskbar will show and remain - fully functional - even though I move the cursor away, and hides again when I click anywhere else. When I set the taskbar options to include all displays, the taskbar on the external displays pops up briefly (< 1 second) then disappears and won't automatically reappear when I move the cursor to the external monitor taskbar area. The taskbar functions properly only on the "Main Display" whether it's the laptop display or one of the external monitors. Taskbar behavior is set to: "automatically hide the taskbar", and "Show my taskbar on all displays". The only thing that changed was that I upgraded to Windows 11 - no other application or driver updates other than what is automatically included in the Win11 upgrade. Preliminary: The taskbars were working flawlessly and simultaneously on all 3 monitors (left, laptop, right) with Windows 10. Re: Taskbars don't show on external monitors when "autohide" is enabled. Monitor 3: HP Z23i IPS Display (Connected via Kensington USB3.0 DisplayLink Video Dock)Īll 3 monitors are set to 1920x1080 resolution. Monitor 2: HP Z23i IPS Display (Connected via Kensington USB3.0 DisplayLink Video Dock) Monitor 1: HP 17.3" diagonal 4K IPS anti-glare WLED-backlit (3840 x 2160 max) Microprocessor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8750H CPU 2.20GHz I had no such issue while running Windows 10 this morning prior to the upgrade to Windows 11. I've read of other taskbar issues - such as blank taskbars, but this is not that. If I enable taskbar autohide, then the "autohidden" taskbars on 2 or 3 do not pop up. If I disable taskbar autohide, then the taskbars show properly on all monitors. ![]() I have taskbar on for all monitors in settings. I'm running 3 monitors on an HP Omen - 1=laptop, 2=left, 3=right. I just upgraded from win10 Pro this morning, also installing all updates. ![]()
