HI @milboltnut
Welcome to HP Support Forums. A really great platform for posting all your questions and finding solutions.
I understand that the minimized Tab is not opening when you move the cursor to the small box
I could help.
Are you experiencing this issue with all the minimized App / Windows or only a particular minimized window?
Also may I know since when are you facing this issue?
Meantime please try a System Restore to an earlier time before the issue started
- Shut down the computer completely.
- Turn on the computer and repeatedly press the F11 key, about once every second, until you see the Windows loading screen.
- If a language selection screen opens, select the language you want to use to continue.
- On the Choose your keyboard layout screen, select the keyboard layout that matches your keyboard type.
- On the Choose an option screen, click Troubleshoot.
- On the Troubleshoot screen, click Advanced Options.
- On the Advanced options screen, click System Restore.
- Click Windows 10 as the target operating system.
- The System Restore window opens. Click Next.
- Click the restore point that you want to use, and then click Next.
- The Confirm Restore Point window opens.
-Click Finish to restore your computer to a previous point.
- Do not interrupt System Restore when it starts. Doing so can corrupt your hard drive and create more problems. Click Yes in the warning that appears.
- System Restore returns the computer configuration to a previous point in time and restarts.
Keep me posted how it goes.
Thank you. 🙂

Hi @milboltnut
I see that you are finding it difficult to follow the instructions.
I suggest you do the Microsoft Push Button Reset to Reset the Notebook.
You can view this 3rd party Video for help with the Reset.
If you chose to contact our Phone Support for assistance, follow these steps.
Step 1. Open link: www.hp.com/contacthp/
Step 2. Enter Product number or select to auto detect
Step 3. Scroll down to "Still need help? Complete the form to select your contact options"
Step 4. Scroll down and click: HP contact options - click on Get phone number and phone number appear.
Thank you.

Thank you for or replying to my post on the HP Support Forums,
I have brought your issue to the attention of an appropriate team within HP.
They will contact you shortly and likely request information from you in order to look up your case details or product serial number.
Please look for a private message from an identified HP contact.
Additionally, keep in mind not to publicly post personal information (such as serial numbers and case details).
Cheers.
