Windows 10: How do I restore & cascade ALL minimized programs. Not one group at a time, all of them.

Hello. I would like to restore & cascade all instances of ALL minimized programs at the same time. Is there a way to do this?


To be clear, I know how to restore one group at a time, but that's not what I want to do. I want to maximize & cascade everything that's open in all groups simultaneously.


I could do this in previous versions of Windows, but don't know how to do it in Win10.


Thank you.

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.
