### What issue do you have?

What happened in this latest version, Joplin no longer minimizes to my hidden icons. Either it minimizes to the taskbar or it closes. It used to sit in my hidden icons by the speaker which kept it up to date and made it easy to pull back up. I find myself having to relaunch it from the start menu each time I want to use it???

Joplin 3.6.14 on my Windows 11 test machine **does** still minimise to the system tray.

Could the options to do this have become "unticked" in your settings?
