Why can I not see my minimized windows on my taskbar?

Answer by  RedConversation (17)

Check and see if the program in question is one of the icons near the time. You may need to expand this field by clicking the the arrow button adjacent to these icons. If it is not there, use task manager (CTRL+ALT+DEL once) to see if the process is running. If it is, end process and restart.

You may have the windows task bar hidden where it will only appear when you scroll over it with the mouse, although you can scroll through any open applications using the Alt + Tab keys which will allow you to toggle from application to application.

This might be caused by the task-bar being frozen, to fix this hit ctrl-alt-delete, and choose processes, then find explorer.exe, right click and choose end process, ignore the warning that appears and click file then run, and type in explorer.exe, and it should work now.

I think your system was affected by some PUP its not a virus or Trojan, it just disable the task bar and the task bar is disabled so that the minimized tasks are not visible to you.

If you cannot see the minimized window on your taskbar, click the arrow button to expand the list. If this does not, try minimizing the current window which will then allow you to view all items on the taskbar.
