Windows 10: Why does windows 10 photos close when I minimize it?

The Windows 10 Photos app always closes it'self when I minimize it.

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.

 

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.
  
  

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
