Hide taskbar under Windows - how it works
If you use a small screen, the taskbar is often annoying. We explain how you can hide them under Windows.
Hide taskbar under Windows
If you hide the taskbar in Windows, it has not completely disappeared: If you move your mouse back to the taskbar, the bar will appear briefly. However, it disappears as soon as you move the mouse somewhere else. How to activate the necessary settings:
- Right-click on an empty space on your taskbar.
- Select "Settings" in the open menu.
- In the "Taskbar" tab, check "Automatically hide the taskbar".
- Save the change with "OK".
The solution described works under Windows 7 as well as under Windows 8 and 8.1. We'll also explain how to hide certain icons from the taskbar.
