Windows 11: Auto-hide taskbar animation is laggy / low FPS (very noticeable on OLED displays)

I’m seeing a persistent UX issue with the “Automatically hide the taskbar” feature in Windows 11.

Issue:
When auto-hide is enabled, the show/hide animation looks laggy and low FPS and feels “wonky” compared to the rest of the UI, which is smooth. The taskbar technically works (it hides and shows), but the animation itself looks choppy.

Why it matters:
I’m using an OLED display, and many OLED users are encouraged to use auto-hide to reduce burn-in from a bright, static taskbar. Because of that, this animation quality directly affects day-to-day usability for a lot of people.

Steps to reproduce:

Right-click taskbar → Taskbar settings
Enable “Automatically hide the taskbar”
Move the mouse to the bottom edge to show the taskbar; move it away to hide
Repeat several times and compare the smoothness to other Windows 11 UI animations

Expected behavior:
– Auto-hide animation should be smooth and high FPS, roughly matching the monitor refresh rate
– Feels responsive and fluid, consistent with other Windows 11 animations

Actual behavior:
– Animation looks stuttery / low FPS / delayed
– Very noticeable on high-refresh displays and OLED panels

What I’ve already done:
– Submitted detailed feedback via Feedback Hub
– Tried suggested steps (e.g., checking animation settings). The feature works; the issue is specifically animation rendering quality, not that auto-hide is broken.

I’d really appreciate it if this could be treated as a UI/UX performance issue and not just a generic support problem. Smoother auto-hide animations would greatly improve the experience for Windows 11 + OLED users who rely on this feature to reduce burn-in.

Thanks in advance to anyone from the Windows team or community who can confirm this, share workarounds, or comment on whether this is already known internally.
