I understand! Let's try this: After minimizing and clicking on something else (taking the focus away from the tool), click on the ACSG icon in your Windows Taskbar. This won't maximize the program, but it should bring the mini-bar to the front.
If you still can't see it, please check if it's hidden behind your Windows Taskbar or, if you're using multiple monitors, if it 'escaped' to a corner or a secondary screen.
If none of this helps, don't worry! I have an idea of what might be happening and I'll work on a fix for the next update. Thanks for bringing this to my attention! OK?👍
PS: Which version of Windows are you using?
