Difficulty resuming play after minimizing FSX

[barnsg]

I'm having difficulty resuming FSX play after minimizing it using Alt+Esc. I have to click on the FSX icon in the task tray anywhere from 3 to 20 clicks before FSX will maximize (see attached picture). Has anyone seen this problem?

 

I'm running Windows 7 Home edition. My computer is: Acer Intel i7-4790 CPU, 8.00 GB Memory.

 

 

Thanks, Gary---

Under Settings-General-Program uncheck the box "Pause on task switch".

I assume you are doing this from Full Screen Mode and not Windowed Mode?

 

Try using Alt+Enter instead, to switch to Windowed Mode. Then you can use the little "-" sign on the Title Bar to minimize FSX.

 

This is the proper way to switch from Full Screen FSX to another program.

Occasionally the above method requires pressing Alt+Enter after clicking on the FSX icon on the Taskbar.

+1.

I also use alt+enter, then "-" (minimise). Works every time.

Thanks everybody for your replies and suggestions. The Alt + Enter and then minimize method works best for me.

 

Cheers!
