Windows 10: I cannot minimise my active windows even though the icon is there.

I cannot minimise my active windows even though the icon is there. However the 'X' button on the Edge app has disappeared altogether which means that I cannot easily see all my active icons

Game minimising in Windows 10

I recently built my own PC over the winter season which I had an unactivated copy of Windows 10 on for about a week or two which was working fine. I then activated the software and now I seem to be encountering a problem where most games that I am playing
(mainly from steam) keep minimising at arbitrary times while I play.

I was following many of the steps from Full-screen game keeps minimizing in Windows 10? Here's how to fix this issue

Which claimed that following these 10 steps would "Fix" the problem:

1. Check GPU drivers
2. Kill background applications
3. Disable Game Mode
4. Disable Action Center notifications
5. Run as admin and in a different compatibility mode
6. Give game’s process a higher CPU priority
7. Disable dual-GPU
8. Scan for viruses
9. Update Windows
10. Show taskbar on all displays for multi-display setup

I have tried a few of these steps (1,2,3,8,9) with no luck! Just wondering if anyone else has had and found a solution to this problem, any info is appreciated.
