    Windiws 10 programs minimizing.


    Using my dell laptop, with a second monitor plugged in via HDMI. Prograns open on both monitors randonly minimize then pop back up while in use. Sometimes happenes quickly multiple times up and down, sometimes they just minimize. When the laptop does this the keyboard functions are not working, instead of hitting the win key for start menu, it does nothing. Control starts an entirely new desktop window, letter keys have functions as if you were holding control, Win, or Alt. Drivers are all updated, refresh rate has been checked, tabled mode is disabled. Im sure I've done other checks and NOTHING has resolved this.... Maybe if I just use a hammer...?

  2. How to actually start program minimized in Windows 10?

    Steps i tried to make program (for example: Thunderbird) to load on startup, but minimized:

    1. Placed shortcut under: C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
    2. In a shortcut properties i've checked "minimized"

    Rebooted windows, it does start, but MAXIMIZED! Can't make it minimized, just like on MacOS i could set it hidden.

    Auto-minimizing of some programs, not able to bring out of minimized state

    I have been have some strange issues for a while now, in that certain programs are unwilling to open in any state other than minimized. It started with Steam, not the whole program but messages from a single friend always remaining minimized. It has now
    progressed to the friends list always remaining minimized as well as several other friends' messages being sometimes minimized. This morning it started happening to every Chrome page I tried to open. The page opens in minimized form and cannot be pulled up
    on the screen in any way. This happens regardless of what other programs are open or how many times the program is opened. I have tried re-installing Chrome and restoring the computer to about a week ago. As this is no longer confined to a single program I
    am convinced that there is a setting somewhere in Windows 10 that is causing this despite the fact that I have not been altering any settings. I have been using Windows 10 for months without significant problems, but this is getting ridiculous. Any suggests
    for resolving this would be much appreciated.
