Minimize Factorio

Post by IngoKnieto »

I am not able to minimize Factorio on Windows. I play on Windows 7 64 bit. Anyone else has this issue?

When I hit the windows-key I see my taskbar, but I can't click on any other programs. Sucks, because everytime I want to research soemthing in my browser I have to close the game...

Funny, Alt+Tab or Winkey+D are working, thanks for these ideas.

If I press only Winkey I get my taskbar but I still have the factorio window open (fullscreen except for the taskbar). If I click then on any already opened program in the taskbar, or on the "show desktop" icon in the right lower corner it doesn't work...
