    Randomly minimizing all windows on mouse press


    Recently I have problem - randomly every window minimized showing the desktop, happens when I press left mouse button, like there was input to some invisible app.The issue appeared recently. I didn't install any new software and didn't update any driver.It happens randomly without any rhythm to it. I tried to find the source but no luck in it.How could I find the source of the problem?

    :)

  3. 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.

  4. Randomly minimizing all windows on mouse press

    Taskbar bug: switching to another window -will not appear at the front


    Follow either of these steps to fix the issue with the Active window hiding behind.

    Method 1:
    I suggest you to disable window by hovering over it with the mouse and check if it helps. To do so I suggest you to try the below given steps and check if it helps:

    1. Press Windows key + X key and click on Control Panel.
    2. Select or click Ease of Access.
    3. Click or tap onEase of Access Centre.
    4. Click on Make the Mouse Easier to Use was uncheck Activate Window by hovering over it with the mouse.
    5. Check if issue is resolved.
    Method 2:
    I would suggest you to completely uninstall the touchpad driver and reinstall it. Kindly follow the below given steps.

    1. Press “Windows key + X” and click on “Device Manager”.
    2. In the list of devices, you should see the touchpad drivers.
    3. Right click on the device and then select "Uninstall".
    4. In the uninstall dialog, make sure you select the option to delete the driver package from the system. This causes the driver package installed earlier to be deleted.
    5. In the Action menu of Device manager, select “Scan for Hardware changes” option. This will cause the device driver to be reinstalled. Once the driver is installed, close all windows and restart the computer.
