In the XYplorer 64-bit version, when the keyboard/mouse focus is in the main area of the XYplorer window, pressing Win + ↓ does nothing. However, if the focus is on the menu bar, Win + ↓ works normally and minimizes the XYplorer window.
This issue does not occur in the XYplorer 32-bit version: Win + ↓ minimizes the XYplorer window correctly regardless of where the focus is.

Re: WIN+Down minimize shortcut doesn’t work in the main UI (64-bit)
Actually sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. For example, right after activating the window from the taskbar WIN+Down and WIN+Up work well if the focus is in the file list. (Also for you?) Anyway, this is one of those window-related tB bugs (language XY is written in) that will be fixed sooner or later. There is nothing I can do it about it from here.
