Clicking on XYplorer on windows task bar does not show xyplorer

Hi,
in many cases clicking on the xyplorer icon on the windows taskbar has no effect. the xyplorer window stays in the background. using alt-tab is working to bring xyplorer to the foreground
had this issues also on another machine, so it should not depend on my configuration.
any ideas?

Weird. Never seen this here.

1) Is that a new problem?

2) Is it connected to the Minimized state of the window?

3) Do you see any other pattern?

1) problem is not new for me, we used xyplorer in my last company and we faced the same issue there

2) i never minimize xyplorer, i usally use alt tab to get other windows in the foreground

3) pattern. it occurs roughly 1 out of 10 times when i click on the task bar item. no pattern spotted.

I was hoping that this is a known issue and there is a simple fix. But as this is not the case, we can close this. I will live with that until I get a new pc with win11

thank you anyway!!
