I have a Sony laptop with Windows 8.1.1 on it. When using something like IE 11 the taskbar refuses to go into hiding. I see now that it does when a program is put into full screen mode. I don't remember ever seeing this before, and that may take some getting used to, unless there's a way around it?
📎 AI Summary:
The original poster reports that on their Sony laptop running Windows 8.1.1, the taskbar does not auto-hide when using IE 11, unlike in full-screen mode. A responder clarifies that the desktop version of IE isn't a full-screen app and explains that only the IE tablet (modern UI) version, which is full-screen, automatically hides the taskbar. The discussion centers on differences in taskbar behavior between IE versions, with the overall tone neutral and seeking clarification.
