    Can I change the delay time for taskbar to unhide on mouse over?


    I have the auto hide feature of the taskbar turned on. When I mouse over the taskbar it unhides itself too quick for my liking. I would like there to be a delay of something like 5 seconds between when I mouse over the hidden taskbar and when the taskbar unhides itself. Is there a way to accomplish this? I'd prefer to not have to install anything to accomplish this... if there is a registry tweak for this that would be preferable. Windows 10 Pro version 2004. Thanks in advance

    Hi, you can experiment with this- I've not tried it myself.

    Back up the key before changing it just in case.

    Note it also relates to the delay showing taskbar thumbnails e.g.

    I gave that a try and it didn't change the delay on anything, taskbar thumbnails or taskbar. But thanks.

    Any other ideas?

    There's nothing in Winaero's tweaker or the tutorials that I could find. You might be lucky if you search...

    I found this ancient prog - post towards the end says it worked in '10 - but it didn't seem have any effect.
