why doesn't my CP8 work properly?

It doesn’t necessarily mean it was a plug-in. They are all rescanned because the preferences were reset but who knows how the preferences were messed up. As far as the minimize thing, I am not having that issue here but I think I have seen some discussion about it in the forum somewhere. My best guess is that it is a known anomaly that will hopefully be fixed soon. Not sure if there is a solution at this time since I haven’t read much on it due to not experiencing the problem.
