Another way to access the Taskbar settings is to right-click on the Taskbar area and then click Taskbar settings at the bottom of the page.
When you enable the option, the taskbar will be hidden. Keep in mind that this won’t remove the taskbar. Each time you place the mouse in that area, the taskbar will show up, and you will be able to navigate the apps and use them as usual. When you are out of the taskbar zone, it will disappear again.
