    File Explorer Does Not Minimize

    This is weird. My File Explorer will no longer minimize without locking up.

    Specifically, if I open File Explorer it opens up fine. If I click on the minimize button the window itself will minimize like expected however the list of files within that window will all flash/blink rapidly and the window will get stuck in the minimized
    state. It will no longer open or close when I press the "X" the "x" will turn red and it will say "not Responding" and stick for a minute and then the box closes.

    File Explorer used to minimize correctly for years until the update last week.

    Can anybody help...please...Anybody...

    Windows 10 - Can't resize or minimize windows!

    Hi,

    I have problem with my windows explorer, I can't minimize or resize windows. It's always full size and only what I can do about it is closeing it. Aside with these two problems the third one is about slow loading windows, other programs works normal.

    So far I tried resolve that problem by:

    1. Checking if Tablet Mode is off (it is + windows won't switch it back to tablet mode, only desktop now).
    2. sfc scan
    3. Window > Properties > Normal Mode(not max or min size)
    4. Multitasking settings (I tried to turn off and then on it, nothing changed)
    5. Video card drivers looks like they are up to date
    6. Tried to run all windows in separate processes (Files Explorer Options)
    7. I removed TeamViewer as well becuase I read somewhere it fixed problem for user

    Dunno what to do more... I logged on another user in my PC and problem was the same. I still can't resize or minimize windows.
