I use the hide key shortcut all the time, but since my latest update to 10.15.13, it's sporadic. "Hide [current app]" and "Hide others" are often grayed out. The only workaround seems to be "Show All" and then I can hide some apps, but I am still prevented from hiding the last app (not including the Finder, I know to keep that shown). Has anyone else had this show up?
MacBook Air 13", macOS 10.12
Greetings johnwasson,
Thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities! I understand you're unable to hide apps on your Mac as expected, as the keyboard shortcut isn't working consistently, and the hiding options within the menu bar are often grayed out.
To help isolate this issue, I suggest testing the behavior while your Mac is started in safe mode. Additionally, testing with a different macOS user account can further isolate the issue: Use safe mode to isolate issues with your Mac - Apple Support & How to test an issue in another user account on your Mac - Apple Support
Cheers.

Hide (cmd-H) no longer working consistently in MacOS 10.15.3?
