Did a bit of searching, but came up empty on topics about my quirk. I Autohide my taskbar. Since installing Avast, it will not Autohide my taskbar anymore. If I un-Autohide, then re-Autohide, it will stay hidden until I need the taskbar. Enough of an annoyance to uninstall Avast, even though I know it’s the best product on the market-and every desperate person I’ve recommended your product to agrees! I cannot live without Autohide. Anything you guys can recommend? ???
I can’t understand why you can’t live without auto hide, I couldn’t live with it. The avast icon can give an early indication you have a problem. However, there is nothing to stop you disabling the display of the icon or at least stop the animation, which is probably why the task bar is un-hidding.
I suggest starting with the disable animation and not getting rid of the icon as that is your interface to the program settings (neded to change this option), the on-access control and access to the simple user interface.
I have always used autohide of the task bar and I have been running with avast for about 2 years now. No issues with animation of the avast icon … no problems with autohide and avast.
I just tried autohide on my taskbar with Avast and there is no problem.
