Windows 7 How to minimize the pop up while saving a file .

[Sahil]

Hi All ,



We were able to do minimize the pop up while saving a file successfully on our local machines which are Windows 8 and above, by going to task manager and locating the application and right clicking and then choosing "minimize". however when we are trying to do the same in windows 7 its not working . we also tried

• Windows Key + D option
• Windows Key+ M option
• Windows Key +Shift+ M option
• Windows Key + Down-Arrow
• Show desktop icon on the Systray on taskbar.

Murphy law comes into play, and even though task manager has that option to "minimize" but for whatever reason the application is not getting minimized and we keep seeing "Saving ... 100%" glaring in middle of the screen.

This is a burning situation for us so calling out for help

-Do you have any idea on why in Windows 7 its not minimizing or how we can make it happen, by some other route.

When trying to troubleshoot issues with minimizing pop-up windows in Windows 7, especially during file saving processes, you can explore a few alternative methods to achieve successful minimization. Here are a few additional steps to consider:
1. Keyboard Shortcuts: In addition to the ones you've already tried, you can attempt the following keyboard shortcuts that are commonly used for window management in Windows 7:
- Windows Key + D: This should minimize all open windows.
- Alt + Tab: Switch between open applications. Sometimes, switching focus between windows can help with minimizing them.
2. Reposition the Application Window: Sometimes, a pop-up window can display off-screen, making it seem like it hasn't minimized. Try the following steps:
- Right-click the application in the Windows taskbar.
- Select "Move" and then use the arrow keys on the keyboard to reposition the window back on screen.
- Once the window is visible, minimize it using the standard methods.
3. Alternate Shortcuts: Although not specific to minimizing, using Alt + Spacebar to bring up the Window's context menu might offer additional options for managing the window, including minimizing or maximizing.
4. System Troubleshooting: If the issue persists, it might be helpful to perform a system check for any software conflicts or issues that could be affecting window behavior. Running a system integrity check or updating display drivers could potentially resolve underlying issues.
By testing these additional methods, you may find a solution that helps minimize the pop-up windows during file saving processes on Windows 7. If the problem persists, further investigation into system settings and potential conflicts may be necessary to address the issue effectively.
