Foobar2000 Won't Minimize

Hey guys,

I use Foobar2000 on a regular basis and recently it won't minimize and go off-screen unless I use the button on the top right of the program.
As you can imagine this gets annoying, does anyone know how to fix without having to reinstall foobar?
Or a way to save your Foobar settings and re-install? 

Thanks in advance

Do you mean the taskbar icon is not working?

Nothing is working, I can't even Alt+Tab or WindowsKey+Tab out of the program

You mean it won't minimize unless you click the button to minimize it? I don't know if I'm reading this right but what?

I usually Alt+tab in and out of programs; it's easier and faster than doing it with the in program way.

Having one program that is not doing this is annoying

Ah, so another Window won't come up above foobar when you alt tab?

I can change the programs behind it but no matter what Foobar remains on the first layer.

I don't use it but maybe there is a checkmark beside some option called "remain on top" ?

I'll look for something like that

@OddlyShapedTree you can export playlists and theme from Foobar. For playlists File -> Save playlist... For Theme File -> Preferences -> Default UI / Columns UI -> Export Theme. Or from Program Files copy Components folder and from /username/appdata/roaming/foobar2000 copy every folder you need.

I ended up uninstalling and reinstalling.
