Unabled to return to TC after viewing Desktop

[Birger]

After viewing desktop in Windows 10 (e.g. WINDOWS+X) I can't return to the present session of my TC. ALT+TAB shows a very diminished picture of TC but nothing happens when selected.

I have to start a new session of TC and remove the previous from Task Manager. Selecting TC from the task bar also works.

Hmm, Here it is Win+D that shows the Desktop on Windows 10 - Not Win+X (it opens the Quick Link Menu) - and I have no problem going to TC with Alt+TAB.

Maybe you have enabled: Configuration -> Options -> Operation -> "Move icon to system tray when minimized"

In that case you may have to press Enter after you have selected TC using Alt+TAB - or press Alt+TAB on more time.

WIN+D it is. Icon is minimized and Enter works fine. Thank you.
Still just notice that the behavior wasn't there in TC 8, if I remember right.

Can you see TC's Icon in the system tray - it might be hidden under the up-arrow to the left of the system tray - maybe that makes a difference.

Yes, I can see it in the system tray.
About minimizing - the diminished picture of TC when pressing ALT-TAB shows up even if I haven't minimized TC before.

I recommend that you don't use the system tray option on Windows 10 any more - Windows 10 uses relatively small icons in taskbar, so the needed space is no longer a big problem as e.g. on XP.
