    Trying to close/minimize a maximized window and I end up closing/minimizing a window...


    Hey all, I don't know if this is a bug or some feature that Microsoft put in Windows 10 but it's super annoying.

    Sometimes for whatever reason I'll move my mouse up to either minimize or close a window that is maximized and it won't close that window I'm intending but another maximized window below it.

    So for example say I've got notepad maximized and google chrome is maximized underneath it, I'll move my mouse up to close my notepad window and click the X in notepad but windows will close chrome and leave notepad open.

    Any advice in stopping this would be appreciated. Thanks for your time.

    Minimize/maximize window

    The line to minimize and the square to maximize window has disappeared from the top right of the screen. The only option shown is the x to close window. How do I restore the minimize and maximize option?
