Windows 10: How to reveal taskbar on right hand side when hidden (without Winkey)

When ta skbar was at bottom, hovering my mouse over it would have revealed my hidden taskbar. When it's on the right side now, hovering over does nothing and I have to hit Win to reveal it. How do I re-enable hover-over to show my taskbar momentarily?

Pesky Taskbar

Hi Watson,



This behavior of your Taskbar is part of the settings set on your computer.



To automatically hide your Taskbar, follow the steps below:

• Right click on the Taskbar.
• Select Taskbar settings.
• Toggle the switch to on for Automatically hide the Taskbar in desktop mode.

Note that it’s not permanently hidden, it’s just hidden if the pointer is away from it.

Hope this helps. Keep us posted for other concerns if you have any.
