      Whoa ... Not so fast, as it turns out. There's still a problem:
      While the autohide works on all 3 of my monitors after a startup/restart, when my PC goes to sleep and I wake it up, all 3 taskbars are not hidden, and the autohide option is unselected in the taskbar behavior settings. Also, there is a popup notification titled "Taskbar" that says "A toolbar is already hidden on this side of your screen. You can only have one auto-hide taskbar per side."
      When I go back to taskbar behavior settings and re-enable auto hide, or, if I restart, the 3 taskbars then hide like they're supposed to - until my PC goes to sleep again.

      So, for me at least, the autohide function works on all 3 of my monitors ONLY if I don't wake up my computer from sleep.

        I just tried sleeping/waking a few times - no issues for me.
