Unless something changes, you won’t be able to move it to the right, left, or top of the screen as on previous versions of Windows. However, you can still hide the Windows 11 taskbar. Here’s how.
How to Hide the Taskbar on Windows 11
To hide the Windows 11 taskbar: Note that when you close out of Settings, the taskbar will appear briefly and automatically hide again. There will also be a “sliver” of the taskbar that appears at the bottom, but it’s barely noticeable. If you move your mouse down to the bottom of the screen, the taskbar will pop up right away to allow you to use it. When you move your mouse off the taskbar, it will automatically hide again.
Changing Windows 11 Settings
Hiding the taskbar allows your apps to take up the full screen without having it in the way. The taskbar only takes up a small portion of the screen; still, it’s nice to reclaim every inch of screen real estate – especially on smaller screens.
