    Why this happens? minimized to taskbar


    After updating to Win 10 Creator 1709 16299.64, I experienced the problem of applications like Firefox or Outlook suddenly switched to the task bar with program icon. I have to click on the icon to bring up the application. This happens a few time while using the program.

    Anyone can help me on this matter?

    Thanks.

    :)

    PLEASE HELP! this is driving me insane! (windows focus)

    ok........

    open a program from the taskbar.....

    open a 2nd one.

    go back to 1st one.

    not happening.

    whatever the 1st program i maximize via the taskbar is, it inherits a "stay on top" property.

    no matter what i try, i can't open another program unless i minimize others until it has the focus.

    this is really, really irritating.

    i've messed with all the options of right-clicking on the taskbar.

    no love.

    any ideas?

    Minimized apps do not appear on task bar when minimized.

    After updating to windows 10, programs that i minimize no longer appear on the taskbar. the only way i am able to open minimized programs is by using the task view button. Does anyone know why this might be happening or what i could do to fix it?
