My Windows 10 is not activated. That is why I cannot auto-hide a taskbar :-( It is annoying because it covers the space I need and distracts my attention. Please, help me auto-hide the taskbar without activating my Windows. Do not suggest buying anything, please.

P.S. Windows 10x64 Pro, version 1703 (Build 15063.332).

Go here. (If key Explorer doesn't exist, create it):

Create DWORD value NoTaskGrouping(If not exist already)

If you don't want task buttons grouping, make it's value 1 and then restart Explorer
