Description

### Description

I tested several applications, including file browser, web browser, music player and some others.
File browser has problem, I suppose the file browser is almost a WPF application.
I tried to make a screen video to provide a better understanding, but I can't. Because when I started to record screen, the taskbar will never popup again.

### Reproduction Steps

1. set auto-hide the taskbar

2. create a WPF application(Or just Windows file browser).
3. maximize the application window.
4. move your mouse to the edge of the screen

**result**: taskbar doesn't restore
**expected result**: the taskbar should be visible

### Expected behavior

the taskbar should be visible when mouse moved to the screen edge

### Actual behavior

nothing happen
