Run on Win 10 using Win-XP settings....

I'm trying to move my Cumulus setup from an old, about to retired Win XP machine to my "big" Win 10 PC.

Cumulus runs fine until I try to minimize the window - then it goes off into space and you can no longer open Cumulus using the icons. The Task Manager says that the program is still running in the background, but you can't open it to check anything.

I've tried resetting to Win 7 and XP SP3 but it still doesn't work.

Anyone else have a work around?

Thank you

Do you have "minimise to tray" selected? You could try changing that setting to see if it helps. I've just tried it on Windows 10 with that setting and without it, and in both cases I can restore it using the icons, so I'm at a loss to explain why it doesn't work on your system.

unclicking "minimise to tray" fixed it, I also reran the troubleshooter and it is set to work emulating Win 8.

thanks
