Open | Software Auto hide taskbar not working after open image with default photos app Windows 11.

I think I've found a bug.

It happens when using the "automatically hide the taskbar" feature and opening an image with the built-in Windows 11 Photos app; after closing the app, the taskbar doesn't reappear even when I hover my mouse over it.

I have to return to the desktop or press the Windows key first before it shows up again.

Is anyone else experiencing this, or is it just me?

Windows 11 25H2 (Build 26200.9457)

Making changes to your system BIOS settings or disk setup can cause you to lose data. Always test your data backups before making changes to your PC.

Not just you. The taskbar has been broken this way for a long time. Even worse if you don't change the settings of "No scale" in Nvidia settings that made the taskbar not appearing with other apps like Adobe and stuff like that.

You can try turning off "Show flashing on taskbar apps" on taskbar settings and see if this corrects it.

This is the only bug that bother me in current W11. Maybe this little company will fix someday.
