Task Bar Unhiding - Action Centre at Fault

The taskbar is unlocked (set to autohide), but it keeps popping up. Action Center appears to be the culprit because when I click on the action center flag in the system tray the taskbar hides again. I should add that there are no visible issues in the Action Centre - when I hover my cursor over the flag I get a message saying "No current issues detected".

I would prefer to not have to disable Action Center notification to solve this problem, as the notification when there are any, are useful.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hey,

Action center does nothing but maybe warn you when an update is available or when your firewall and virus protection is off, sometimes it won't even detect a 3rd party antivirus installed in your system and will annoy you with the false warnings so I don't see how useful it would be for you. Anyway, have you tried disabeling it and see if your taskbar works just fine? Just to be 100% sure action center is the culprit.
