 Handy feature to have the title bar removed from windows, to extend the work area for the app.
But how am I supposed to minimize such a window?

I have an app window configured to have title bar/resize frame removed, positioned top-left, resized at start-up to 7040x1200, min and max size adjusted to 7040x1200.

I want to be able to minimize this app window to the taskbar/restore the window to its position/size.

Tried right-click on the apps'  taskbar button, but there is no option to minimize the app window. Clicking the app button or pressing Win+m doesn't minimize either.

Have I configured something wrong?

 Try shift + right click on taskbar entry to show full context menu or win key + down key to minimize that window.

 No, this did not work. Shift+right-click on the taskbar button did not bring up the system menu, nor does the window react to Win+down, Win+m, etc...

It seems to be a "bug": Windows without titlebar can't be minimized.

I tried mwith another app: Adobe PDF Reader: I copied my Cubase window setting and changed target window to Adobe Reader. It had titlebar removed, resized, fixed min/max size, like Cubase, and there was no system menu shown on shift-right-click on taskbar button. I removed the Adobe Reader window setting, default applied, titlebar shown and shift-right-click the taskbar button brought up the system menu.

 ok, got it!

I adjusted "remove title bar's icon and buttons, remote minimize and remove maximize button" on startup for that window (it doesn't even have a titlebar) which prevented the system menu from showing up!
