Windows 10 Taskbar Problem

I have Hoster running and have it minimized on my Windows 10 taskbar, there is a blue line under it just like all my other open programs. When I click on it, sometimes it does not open back up to full view, even if you use the alt+tab command you can see Hoster but not get it to open back up. It was stuck like this for the last ten minutes and now all of a sudden it is working.I have had this happen during my last show and have no ideal what is causing this.

Re: Windows 10 Taskbar Problem

I don't know if this will help when it won't restore but try this and if it helps lets us know.
Right click on a blank spot on the taskbar to bring up an options list, tick the option "Show Task View Button" if it's not already ticked.
The button is a square with smaller squares attached to each side. when pressed normally it shows all open screens next to each other reduced in size. If after shrinking to the taskbar you get the problem you describe press this new button which should open Hoster onto the desktop again in a reduced size but then click in the mddle of it and see if that restores it.

Re: Windows 10 Taskbar Problem

I tried your suggestion and that did not work. If you hover your mouse over your open programs on the taskbar you get a small preview of each program that is open. If you click on any of them they go back to full screen except Hoster. The only thing that is on the screen is the floating display window. I though maybe the display settings were set up to extened mode but that is not the case.

When I tried your suggestion you get a preview of all your programs that are open just like above. When you click on Hoster is appears to open up for a fraction of a second then it disappears.

Re: Windows 10 Taskbar Problem

I had this happen to myself yesterday. What I found was best way to get it back was.
  • Hover over Hoster on taskbar which brings up a mini Hoster view.
  • Now move the curser up to the mini view then right click to bring up menu.
  • Select Restore and Hoster returns to normal view.
Hope that works for you too
