Hello Ahmet,

Thank you for your question and for reaching out with your question today.

To set the delay of auto-hide taskbar in Tablet Mode and enable window resizing, you can make changes to the Windows Registry using the following steps:

1. Press Win + R to open the Run dialog box, then type "regedit" and press Enter to open the Registry Editor.
2. Navigate to the following registry key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced
3. Create a new DWORD value (if it doesn't exist) with the name "TabletModeAutoHideInTabletMode".
4. Double-click on the newly created value and set its data to "1" to enable auto-hide taskbar in Tablet Mode or "0" to disable it.
5. To set the delay of auto-hide, create a new DWORD value with the name "TabletModeAutoHideDelayInMilliseconds". Double-click on it and set the desired delay value in milliseconds (e.g., 2000 for a 2-second delay).
6. To enable window resizing in Tablet Mode, create a new DWORD value with the name "TabletModeWindowResize" and set its data to "1". If the value already exists, modify it to "1".
7. Once you've made the necessary changes, close the Registry Editor.

Note: Modifying the Windows Registry can have unintended consequences and may affect system stability if not done correctly. It's recommended to create a backup of your registry before making any changes.

After making these changes, sign out and sign back in or restart your computer for the changes to take effect. You should now have the specified delay for auto-hide taskbar in Tablet Mode and the ability to resize windows while in Tablet Mode.

Please exercise caution when making changes to the Registry and ensure that you follow the steps correctly.
