[Windows 11] How to hide taskbar?

Does anyone have a snippet to hide the Windows 11 taskbar?
I only found AutoHotKey solutions.
The current Windows version has a long bug that unhides the taskbar with new logins. :evil:

Hi skywalk

#1 :

Code: Select all

;*************************  Hide TaskBar *******************************

TaskBar = FindWindow_("Shell_TrayWnd",0)
ShowWindow_(TaskBar,#SW_HIDE)

;*************************  Show TaskBar *******************************
Delay(5000)

TaskBar = FindWindow_("Shell_TrayWnd",0)
ShowWindow_(TaskBar,#SW_SHOW)
#2 :

Code: Select all

#TOGGLE_HIDEWINDOW = $80
#TOGGLE_UNHIDEWINDOW = $40

TaskBar = FindWindow_("Shell_TrayWnd",0)
SetWindowPos_(TaskBar, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, #TOGGLE_HIDEWINDOW)

Delay(1000)

TaskBar = FindWindow_("Shell_TrayWnd",0)
SetWindowPos_(TaskBar, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, #TOGGLE_UNHIDEWINDOW)

Thanks RASHAD!
I'll try this when I get home.
This is for a media PC connected to an LED TV on the wall.
The PC came with Windows 11 installed instead of Ubuntu. Windows 11 lacks customization features I use in Windows 10. Vertical taskbar is not available. AutoHide is forgetful.
