I just discovered a fix for this auto-hide issue--at
least a temporary one. If you right click on an empty
area of the Quick Launch area of the Taskbar (not easy to
find any empty space but keep trying), the top option on
the popup menu will be "View." Click this and change the
Taskbar icon size from small to large. The hide button
should come back. Repeat to restore small icons, button
should remain, for a while anyway...
