[QUOTE="JohnHind, post: 1148192, member: 143118"] Windows 10 has a great solution to this: multiple Desktops. You just create a second desktop, put MediaPortal on that and you can quickly switch back and forth between MP and your other work. This feature made Windows 10 worth it on its own for me! It used to irritate the hell out of me that MP compulsorily muted the audio when minimized. Particularly for live TV where I often want to hide the video whilst still auditing audio - for example doing something else during ad breaks whilst still monitoring for programme resumption, or "half-listening" for something interesting in sports commentary or news. The compulsory way MP minimizes to the task tray rather than to the task-bar like every other program is another irritation solved. (As a side note, with the vast complexity of settings already available for this program, surely the MP guys could make these "eccentricities" user configurable?) Since Windows 10, this all works just as I want it - thank-you Microsoft, I can almost forgive the dodgy privacy settings! [/QUOTE]
