When taskbar is set to automatically hide, it remains hidden when the cursor is moved on to it after UniGetUI is started and then closed. I need to hit the Windows key to force the taskbar to display. Happens every time.

Can you please share a video of the issue?

I just used the Windows Snipping Tool to capture it, but when that is running the problem does not present - i.e. the taskbar appears as expected.

Is there anything I can describe to help?

[marticliment]

I don't really see how UniGetUI could interfiere with your taskbar, on my machine it works as expected.
Quitting UniGetUI does fix the issue?
Could you provide a step-by-step guide on how to reproduce the issue?

[dcog989]

OK, I've played and found a bit more detail. The taskbar is coming out of auto-hide but is appearing behind any other app that is open when I close UniGetUI. So, for example:

1. open Notepad++ maximized
2. open UniGetUi, then close it
3. the taskbar is now hidden behind Notepad++ when I move cursor to bottom of screen

That behavior is consistent for every program / app I've tried - e.g. Windows Explorer, Firefox, Notepad++.

Note - it's possible other apps cause this issue for me, but UniGetUI is the first one I've noticed doing it consistently.
