Can't maximize PT 11 from taskbar
Well, this is the first time I've ever experienced this one. If I launch PT 11 all is good - but if I minimize it - I can't get it back - I have to close out PT and relaunch the session.
I'm on Win 8.1 Any ideas - no doubt it's a key stroke or two away from mu current state of intelligence. Thanks in advance Cheers |

I can expand it through the task manager - but there must be a way more elegant way to make this happen. Least i'm thinking.

Re: Can't maximize PT 11 from taskbar
You should not have any other programs running when Pro Tools is running...
If you don't have any other programs running, there is no need to minimize Pro Tools. If Pro Tools is never minimized, there is no need to maximize it...

Can you Alt+Tab to it? If you Alt+Tab to it and the window doesn't maximize, try Ctrl+= (shortcut to show/hide the mixer) and see if it pops up.

Re: Can't maximize PT 11 from taskbar
This is a nice idea, but in the real world I have to have a Web browser, a Sound Library app of some kind and perhaps Excel and/or some manner of development tool(s). Granted I work in Mac OS not Windows so minimizing the Edit window is no issue. In Windows you have to minimize all of ProTools because the edit and mix windows live inside the ProTools shell (Unless it's changed since 10 on Windows 7 which was the last time I worked on a Windows machine). I think the Movie window is separate from the shell. Anyway, working with only ProTools open is not an option for my workflow.

Re: Can't maximize PT 11 from taskbar
I've been working with ProTools every day this way since 2002. ProTools is full of problems, especially version 11. Looking at my system right now with all of these things open and the CPU meter in PT10HD is showing 5% usage.

Re: Can't maximize PT 11 from taskbar
Windows work-around:
Don’t minimize Pro Tools, if you know you can’t “get back”. Instead of minimizing Pro Tools, hit the vertical Show Desktop button (lowest RHS of screen – on the RHS of Time). Navigate from there. May you all arrive safely.
