    The windows options Close, Minimize and Mazimize get blocked after a while


    Hello, I'm getting a wierd problem. When powering up my laptop, after a bit of use, the options for closing, minimizing and maximizing any open windows gets blocked, I just can't click any option. I decided to tried a fresh Windows 10 install, and it still remains the same. What could it possibly be?PS: I'm sorry for my English, I'm still learning.PS2: I'm refering to this options:

    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?

    Programs closing when clicking on Minimize

    When I click minimize no error appears it just closes like when I press the X button.

    I did research and nothing came up about it so no I have not done any troubleshooting steps.

    The windows options Close, Minimize and Mazimize get blocked after a while

    I can't minimize windows edge browser in Windows 10

    Hi and thanks for responding. I hope these details and attached images help:

    • As you can see in the attached, Edge has now minimize or restore down option.
    • Right clicking also shows minimize and restore but they are grayed out.
    • I did reboot as another responder suggested but there was no change.
    • The issue seems to only apply to "apps." Other full applications like the Office suite have all of the normal options to minimize, etc. The ones that seem built in to Windows 10 are the ones that I can only close - Photos, Calculator, Camera, etc.
