Most apps when minimized go to the Dock and display a small circle next to them. If you click the app Icon it opens again onto the screen. Notes used to do this but with El Capitan it does not, at least on mine (I keep my Dock on the left side). If I right click the icon, then select Note from the pop up window I get my Notes back but this is REALLY hard !!!! (LOL). A minor problem I know......

Try doing a Dock restart using the following Terminal command:
killall Dock
Log out/in and test. If that doesn’t work, you need to look in your user Library/Applications Support/Dock for the .db. Use the Finder “Go To Folder” command. Enter ~/Library/Applications Support/Dock. Move the .db to your desktop.
Then try a dock reset.
Applications/Utilities/Terminal enter the command
killall Dock
Log out/in test. If it works okay, delete the .db from the desktop.
If the Dock is the same, return the .db to where you got them from, overwriting the newer ones.
If you prefer to make your user library permanently visible, go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Learned from leonie.
Also having the problem. Tried your suggestions with no success. I've searched and found few others with the same issue, but not as many people as I would have expected. And it's only happening with the Notes app. Strange (and annoying).
Having the same issue here. Haven't found a solution yet.
