  2. Windows 8.1, programs keep minimizing/iconifying themselves repeatedly when trying to open

    My sister owns a HP Pavilion G6, which came with Windows 8. About four months ago it automatically upgraded her to 8.1 an since then she's had several problems.

    I have fixed most of them, but one peculiar issue remains.

    Whenever you open a program/window, it immediately minimizes itself to the task bar.
    If you try to click or key press to bring it back up, it again minimizes itself.

    I have found two work arounds :

    A) Leave the system idle for five minutes
    B) Hold either CTRL or ALT key, and then mouse click to bring the window back up

    After step B, I hit ALTGRAVE key once, and then the windows behave normally for a time.

    This happens immediately after boot and randomly during normal operation.

    I've disabled a lot of the touch pad features and gestures, trying to limit any user input error or other miscellaneous potential sources of the problem.

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    Pressing right arrow key minimizes/dual screens programs and works as windows keys

    When ingame it minimizes the games, when using on screen keyboard it shows it's working as the Windows key, this only recently started to happen and some suggested fixes (like restarting, pressing Windows key, reinstalling keyboard drivers, etc.) don't seem to work.
