    Why does my minimized window keep closing out on it's own?


    I own a surface pro 8 on Windows 11 and recently, every time I minimize a window, especially using OneNote or the Mail application, it will close out maybe two seconds after I minimized it. It is not in the taskbar at all and so I have to reopen the application. I have restarted my computer and even tried to see if there were any updates but there aren't. It's become really annoying because I use OneNote a lot and the Mail app and I hate having to keep reopening them. Is there a way to fix this?

    :)

    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.

    Issue with closing all minimized photos.

    I'm using Windows 10 Home, but the issue is the same on my laptop, Windows 10 Pro.

    Here is the steps to replicate the issue.

    1. Have no photos open.
    2. Open a single photo.
    3. Minimize that photo.
    4. Open a second photo.
    5. Minimize that photo as well.
    6. Right click on the photos on the taskbar. Click "Close all windows"
    Issue is: the photos don't close. You need to open each of the minimized photos, and once the photo pops up, it will immediately close.

    I contacted Windows support today and spent literally, 5 hours on support! At the end, and after much troubleshooting, restarting, updating, all those kinds of things. The support agent had told me that a colleague of theirs, or something like that, has the same issue. And that point we knew that it wasn't an issue specific to my machine. The agent told me that they were going to mark the issue as UNRESOLVED, and put the issue up with a supervisor, and then maybe the supervisor would put the issue up to the development team. The agent also told me to come here and post my experiences. So here I am.
