Top 7 Methods to Fix Apps and Programs Automatically Minimizing in Windows 10

Nowadays Windows 10 users are suffering from a very odd issue. In this situation, users get unable to see the title bar buttons such as “Minimize, maximize/restore, close” and many apps get minimized automatically to the task bar when a sub-window is opened.

Well, these issues are very irritating and annoying, and in this blog you, I am discussing how to stop auto minimize Windows 10 automatically. 

Generally when a user executes any modern or metro apps in full Windows then “title bar” or caption (minimize, maximize/restore or close) available on the title bar gets inactive.

Another case is, when the user opens a sub-window of any running application then main Windows of the application get minimized automatically. If you are facing above discussed Windows 10 problems,  then don’t worry because these are not a problem, actually, these are the features developed by Windows 10 known as “Tablet Mode” (aka Continuum) feature.

These features are specially designed for the touch-enabled device such as Windows 10 tablet and others. This feature works like a bridge between the PC and the touch-enabled device. When you turn on this Tablet Mode then all modern applications open in full Window mode and so that occasionally the main app’s window gets minimized automatically if user opens any of its sub Windows.
