On Windows 11, Enable autohide and press the Windows key like you're going to search for something. This will display the taskbar. You can also press the Win+T if you don't want the search window to open.

You need to enable autohide mode in settings. Then use Win + T.

You need to enable autohide mode in settings.

ToggleTaskbar()
{
    Static A_WinID := ""

    If Not WinActive("ahk_class Shell_TrayWnd")
    {
        A_WinID := WinExist("A")
        WinShow, ahk_class Shell_TrayWnd
        WinActivate, ahk_class Shell_TrayWnd
    }
    Else
    {
        If A_WinID
        {
            WinActivate, ahk_id %A_WinID%
            A_WinID := ""
        }
    }
}

You can do it by using AHK . AutoHotKey. If you hide it, there is going to be a transparent taskbar. so the best thing is setting it to AUTOHIDE.1) install ahk 2) go to desktop , right click , create ahk script 3) open with notepad, delete everything , paste next 4)open script use ALT+BACKSPACE & CTRL+BACKSPACE

 ;Show taskbar 
; ctrl + Backspace   Set AUTO HIDE TASKBAR OFF
        ^Backspace::       
                HideShowTaskbar2(False)
                HideShowTaskbar2(action)
                {
                    static ABM_SETSTATE := 0xA, ABS_AUTOHIDE := 0x1, ABS_ALWAYSONTOP := 0x2
                    VarSetCapacity(APPBARDATA, size := 2*A_PtrSize + 2*4 + 16 + A_PtrSize, 0)
                    NumPut(size, APPBARDATA), NumPut(WinExist("ahk_class Shell_TrayWnd"), APPBARDATA, A_PtrSize)
                    NumPut(action ? ABS_AUTOHIDE : ABS_ALWAYSONTOP, APPBARDATA, size - A_PtrSize)
                    DllCall("Shell32\SHAppBarMessage", UInt, ABM_SETSTATE, Ptr, &APPBARDATA)    
                }   
        Return

 ;Hide taskbar 
          ; Alt + Backspace    Set AUTO HIDE TASKBAR ON
        !Backspace::    
                HideShowTaskbar(True)   
                HideShowTaskbar(action)
                {   
                    static ABM_SETSTATE := 0xA, ABS_AUTOHIDE := 0x1, ABS_ALWAYSONTOP := 0x2
                    VarSetCapacity(APPBARDATA, size := 2*A_PtrSize + 2*4 + 16 + A_PtrSize, 0)
                    NumPut(size, APPBARDATA), NumPut(WinExist("ahk_class Shell_TrayWnd"), APPBARDATA, A_PtrSize)
                    NumPut(action ? ABS_AUTOHIDE : ABS_ALWAYSONTOP, APPBARDATA, size - A_PtrSize)
                    DllCall("Shell32\SHAppBarMessage", UInt, ABM_SETSTATE, Ptr, &APPBARDATA)            
                }   
        return

Actually you will have to do it manually . Right click on task bar then go to taskbar settings then turn on Automatically hide the taskbar in desktop mode then simply you can press ctrl+Esc to see taskbar from any window.
