Windows 10 taskbar disappears after Shift+right click #87

Open ivan opened 2 years ago

ivan commented 2 years ago

With RBTray running, Shift+right click on the Windows 10 taskbar reliably causes the taskbar to disappear.

  1. Run RBTray 4.14 on Windows 10 21H2
  2. Shift+right click on an empty area of the taskbar (i.e. not a window button or tray area)
  3. Observe that the taskbar immediately disappears. (I think you have to kill and start explorer.exe again to get it back.)

If this fails to repro, please try again after moving the taskbar to another position like the top of the screen. It does usually reproduce at the bottom, too, though.

I can reproduce this, running lates Windows 10 Pro.

When working with multiple windows, my main desktop taskbar does NOT hide, but all others do when SHIFT + right click.

@ivan As an interim workaround you can run Win+E, go to RBTray folder, run cmd, rbtray --exit to restore the hidden Taskbar (along with all hidden windows).
