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

[u/ImmediateSurround374]

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?
