Technical difficulty
Hey Everyone!
I cannot minimize pro tools. Well I can but it's a bear to get it to maximize again. I'm spending a lot of time on tutorials and other learning stuff so quite often I need to minimize the program down to my taskbar to look at other stuff. Then I have to click on the Pro Tools icon in my task bar like a gazillion times to get it to come back up. Sometimes it won't even come back up at all and I have to right click it and "close window" and reopen the program. Which means I could lose any unsaved stuff. SAVE OFTEN! Got it lol. Any suggestions though?

Re: Technical difficulty
I've never tried to minimize Pro Tools. But I often have several other programs open. In Windows 10 I use the virtual desktops feature. Hit Win + Tab to bring up the list of desktops. On the lower right of the screen you should see a + sign. Click the + to add another virtual desktop. Open your other programs in the new desktop. Now you can switch between the Pro Tools desktop and the other programs desktop with the Win + Tab key combination, no minimizing required.
Hope this helps.

Re: Technical difficulty
Hey Thanks Mike!
So that's a great feature but it doesn't seem to work for me while Pro Tools First is full screen. It seems I can do it on any other screen. I just did it while typing this and it showed the windows I can choose from including pro tools. I also have a PDF file loaded I can choose. I can use that trick when I'm viewing either Internet explorer OR Adobe Acrobat. It just doesn't seem to work when viewing pro tools. Things that make you go hmmm. :)
