    Minimized


    When I click on minimize what ever I am working on, I can never find it again. I click on it, it seems to go down and to the left, where do I go to bring it back so I can work on it or re read it ? earlier windows made life easy this is not easy?

    :)

    Can't get GPU-Z to start with Windows 8.1 startup

    I'm not sure how to do that. Could you list the steps for a noob?

    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.

    Minimized

    How to actually start program minimized in Windows 10?

    Steps i tried to make program (for example: Thunderbird) to load on startup, but minimized:

    1. Placed shortcut under: C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
    2. In a shortcut properties i've checked "minimized"

    Rebooted windows, it does start, but MAXIMIZED! Can't make it minimized, just like on MacOS i could set it hidden.
