| Dec 23, 2020 at 7:22 | comment | added | Zhang | Yes, problem is soloved by restarting explorer.exe. That's why I hate Win10. Never happened on the previous version. | |

| Sep 20, 2018 at 15:10 | comment | added | shoover | I was having this problem this week, googled "clicking taskbar does not minimize", and this was the first hit. I wish I could upvote this Q&A twice, but I discovered that I had already upvoted it six months ago when I found it the first time I had this problem! | |

| Apr 22, 2018 at 19:26 | comment | added | Debra | I up-voted because I ran into the same issue, and this was a simple fix. However, on the second line shown, it isn't necessary to use "start"; explorer will run if you just type "explorer.exe". The Start command is generally used when you want to open a program in a new window; in this case, it's just not relevant. | |
