WINDOWS 11: Minimize Ninjatrader windows from taskbar doesn't work for me anymore.I switched to Windows 11 and the taskbar option to minimize and restore all windows is gone. Any advice?

Hello Blinky,

Thank you for posting.

If Windows has removed this option unfortunately there is not a workaround within NinjaTrader directly to minimize or restore all windows simultaneously however use the link below to submit this request to our product team for consideration to implement in future releases:

NinjaTrader Feature Request Form

You can use this link for future feedback or features you'd like to see as well.

Let me know if I may be of further assistance.

Thanks for that, it looks like the option is gone from Win11, I used to minimize NT8 and then just restore 1 window (say the 5m chart) to monitor it:

"We have discovered that functionality allowing multiple windows from a specific application to be minimized and then restored as group is no longer available in Windows 11. In Windows 10 we can hover over the application group in the task bar, then shift + right-click and choose Minimize all windows or Restore all windows. This functionality is no longer present in Windows 11. The ability to minimize and restore in Windows 11 via Win+D or Win+M is not the same, as it applies to all displayed windows, rather than those from a specific application group. The removed functionality is a common issue that has been brought up by multiple others."

#Blinky thank you for posting this info & please, I ask you to continue to do so with such tidbits

I’m really not looking forward to Win10 end support so this sort of nugget all helps to avoid tail-chasing

Ever hopefully all such will be fixed before I am forced to 11

Best,
