Registry Editor (If Settings are Blocked):

1. Press Win + R, type regedit, and hit Enter.
2. Navigate to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StuckRects3.
3. Double-click Settings, and change the 5th value in the second row from 02 (bottom) to 03 (hidden).
4. Restart explorer.exe via Task Manager to apply.

Se mer info om framgangsmåten over via link.

Alternativ metode:

Åpne PowerShell som administrator, og kjør:

$p='HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StuckRects3'
$v=(Get-ItemProperty -Path $p).Settings
$v[8] = $v[8] -bor 0x03
Set-ItemProperty -Path $p -Name Settings -Value $v
Stop-Process -Name explorer -Force

Dette forsøker å aktivere auto-hide og starter Windows Explorer på nytt.

Hvis du vil slå av auto-hide igjen senere:

$p='HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StuckRects3'
$v=(Get-ItemProperty -Path $p).Settings
$v[8] = $v[8] -band 0xFC
Set-ItemProperty -Path $p -Name Settings -Value $v
Stop-Process -Name explorer -Force
