How to resolve frequent automatic minimisation of windows in Windows 11?
The computer has recently been frequently minimizing all windows automatically, and common troubleshooting methods have been ineffective. What could be the possible causes ? How should I proceed with further investigation ?

Frequent and automatic minimizing of all windows on your computer can be caused by several issues. Since common troubleshooting methods haven't resolved the problem, you'll need to perform a more in-depth investigation.
Hello,
Suggest you to run System File Checker scan:
- Search for 'command prompt' using Cortana or Windows Search.
- From results, right click on Command Prompt and select Run as administrator.
- Type sfc /scannow command and press Enter key.
- Let the command complete and then reboot the machine.
If issue still persists, perform clean boot:

Let us know if this helps!
Some third-party applications, especially those with overlay features or automation scripts, might be causing windows to minimize unexpectedly.
