How to fix TaskBar Autohide not hiding with notifications

[NathanaelB1]

Hi all!
This might be something that you've all seen before, but I couldn't find a fix online until I found it myself by messing around.

 

If you are on Windows 11 and have Taskbar Autohide enabled, you might have experienced the issue where when you get notifications (looking at you MS Teams, etc), the taskbar shows up, and does not autohide again until you press the windows key or do something else.

 

Here is the simple fix:

Settings - Personalization - Taskbar - Taskbar behaviors (dropdown) - Unselect: "Show flashing on taskbar apps" (See image)

 

Hope this helps you guys!

If this doesn't fix it for you, please let me know.

 

Cheers.
