2 days ago updated to version 11.0.4.4
have never had this issue before
im not speaking of the 'mini player' that hovers on the desktop over windows
im speaking of the minimized simple player that appeared in taskbar that had play, pause, foward previous to this version.
Windows XP
I figured it out for Vista. Whenever I minimized iTunes, it minimized as a toolbar. Right click any open space on the taskbar, and select Toolbars. Deselect iTunes. Now, iTunes should minimize 'normally,' like all other windows.
I'm having the exact same problem with Windows 7, also happening for me with the installation of 11.0.4.4. I had been putting off the update for a few weeks because I didn't want to have to reboot, but I finally decided to do it today. Now the taskbar player which I have used for years through all the previous verions of iTunes no longer appears when minimized even though the preferences have it enabled. I've tried disabling and reenabling it, and I've tried disabling and reenabling the "iTunes" toolbar on the Windows taskbar. This is probably just a bug with 11.0.4.4 that we'll have to deal with until they fix it in a future version.
new itunes wont minimize player to taskbar
