    [Help] Minimized Programs randomly restore themselves with no input.


    I've had this issue for a few weeks now... that ive noticed at least. Where i have some programs minimized and if im talking to someone in the room, not touching the computer, it will just randomly restore every minimized program. It also happens when im in the middle of doing something on my computer. So it doesnt seem to care what im doing, if anything. It will just randomly do it.

    • Typical running programs.
    • Outlook
    • Chrome
    • Firefox
    • Adobe Acrobat Pro DC
    • Excel

    Taskbar programs.

    • PowerChute (personal edition)
    • Box drive
    • Adobe creative cloud manager
    • Logitech Gaming software (for keyboard)
    • Dell Display Manager (for my ultrawide monitor)
    • Skype for Business
    • MaxxAudio Pro
    • Radeon Settings
    • Intel Graphic Settings
    • Windows Defender

    Where do i start trying to troubleshoot this 'ghost'?

    Minimize programs and restore


    Another problem I'm finding with 10 is as follows. With 7 it was easy to minimize an open program. It disappeared to Explorer and could be clicked on and restored. Under 10 you can minimize, but only the first one is recognized. If you minimized a second program it supplants the first, the first disappears they don't stack up, the first is lost. Is there a way to stack up the minimized programs so they aren't lost. It takes time to have to go and retrieve the program from Google.

    Minimized windows don't restore properly


    Hi Caledon thanks for the reply

    I'll go through it all step by step


    1. I open TC (Total Commander or I could say LibreOffice)
    2. I minimize TC
    3. I click on TC on the task bar to restore it
    4. Nothing appears to happen
    5. I open the old program "Desk Lite" and center all windows
    6. I find TC as pictured in my first post

    Desk Lite does not install it's totally self contained. I had not even had it on my laptop at all until after the problem started.

    Also, I had 1607 on it which is when the problem started. I had a second, larger SSD which I had been thinking of putting in the laptop so I thought I'd put it in and reinstall Windows 10 as a fresh install from an ISO I d/led from Dell. This put 1511 on the system and the problem persists.

    Edit: I apologize if I seem snippy. It's frustrating.
