Windows 10: Edge closes when minimized

Hello, while I am online and if I minimize the window, Edge closes. This seems to be happening after the most recent update to Windows Defender. Can someone help? Thank you

:)

 

Programs closing when clicking on Minimize

When I click minimize no error appears it just closes like when I press the X button.

I did research and nothing came up about it so no I have not done any troubleshooting steps.

 

I can't minimize windows edge browser in Windows 10

Hi and thanks for responding. I hope these details and attached images help:

• As you can see in the attached, Edge has now minimize or restore down option.
• Right clicking also shows minimize and restore but they are grayed out.
• I did reboot as another responder suggested but there was no change.
• The issue seems to only apply to "apps." Other full applications like the Office suite have all of the normal options to minimize, etc. The ones that seem built in to Windows 10 are the ones that I can only close - Photos, Calculator, Camera, etc.
