Windows 10: Any way to stop Windows 11 from minimizing randomly?

Good afternoon everyone,Is there any way to stop Windows 11 from minimizing randomly? It mostly occurs while gaming and usually at the most crucial times as well ;P There is no pattern, no error codes, no BSOD....it literally just minimizes. I am a controller player my apologies PC master race and it has become very frustrating. I have tried about as much as I could find online and none of the solutions have worked too many to list here.

Stop minimizing when clicking on taskbar

This does suggest it's the result of a recent change or tweak... as suggested above- a System Restore point created before this started would be useful. Otherwise - you do use 3rd party disk imaging regularly- as is endlessly recommended here.. I hope.. Do you?

Thank you for your reply. The difference in YOUR experience is the icon disappearing. Try this: Create a new user for test purposes. Log in as that user. Do you see the same thing happening? You can delete that user afterwards. You can also see what this free program shows by way of comparison:

 

Why is Windows Biometric Service randomly stopping with Windows 11

My fingerprint scanner has stopped working multiple times since I upgraded to Windows 11. 25% of the time windows has presented a driver update which temporarily resolved the issue. 25% of the time there has been a driver update available, but I have had to search through the internet to find it as it is not listed in windows support anywhere. 25% of the time no error is presented, and I have had to create new fingerprints to resolve the issue. And the last 25% if the time the window biometric service is just randomly stopped and if I restart it, it starts working again.

I have seen this issue presented in the user community a few times and the only answer I am seeing are other users recommending the inquirer walk through all the same things I have gone through. This feels like a band-aid process to me, and I would like to know

1. If there is some stability development in the works for fingerprint scanners and windows 11?
   
2. Is Windows update unable to keep pace with driver updates for some reason?
   
   • Are the driver developers desperately trying to overcome issues with Windows 11 and getting out of sync with Microsoft updates?
     
     • And if so, is there some program/project management going into place to smooth this process out?
