Has anyone ran into the issue of below, what I call Restore Bar, to be missing on some pc's when you minimize a subwindow from your Clarion Application? ![afbeelding](https://clarionhub.com/images/transparent.png) ---

Whats Restore Bar? What version of Clarion? Only thing I can think of is you have another window or control over the top of the minimize button or this attribute is getting lost at some point. > **[Window Styles (Winuser.h) - Win32 apps](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/winmsg/window-styles)** > > This topic provides a list of the various styles that can be applied to a window. > **WS\_MINIMIZEBOX** 0x00020000L The window has a minimize button. Cannot be combined with the **WS\_EX\_CONTEXTHELP** style. The **WS\_SYSMENU** style must also be specified. ---

I was wondering whether it was possible that other MDI windows could be positioned beyond the viewable area of the frame, causing the iconized window to use their position. ---

It’s happening in Both Clarion 8 and Clarion 11 - but I noticed what’s causing the disappearance of ![afbeelding](https://clarionhub-uploads.s3.eu-north-1.amazonaws.com/original/2X/a/a21000470bbbc0afdd1206d395c7625a4b81ecb3.png) It’s the Windows Display Scaling setting - the thing is, for some PC’s a certain scaling is recommended as the display will be too small - I also don’t see it happen on all pc’s with scaling ---

Is it a specific scaling factor or graphic card issue? Surprised Scaling is still causing issues though all these years later. ---

My own PC is scaled to 150% and no issues - another pc with scaling set to 125% has issues, but on all scalings except 100% - but this wasn’t always the issue - I already reinstalled the graphicsdriver and stuff ---
