Problem Description

The minimize or maximize buttons does not work in STAAD.Pro

Steps to Reproduce

When one clicks on the avatar for Connection Client, the minimize button seem to get pressed but nothing happens. When one clicks on the Minimize button, the Maximize ( or Restore) button seem to get pressed and nothing happens. When one clicks on the Maximize/Restore button , the exit button seem to get pressed and nothing happens.

Workaround

This issue has been tracked down to the Connection Client avatar and specifically noted on Win 10. The only workaround would be to hover the mouse over the STAADPro application window in the Taskbar and right click the mouse to get to the Minimize/Maximize/Restore options as shown in the picture below and choose the appropriate option


As an alternative workaround, you may also right click on the top bar in STAAD.Pro and choose the appropriate option.

Solution

Upgrade to the STAAD.Pro Connect Edition ( 21.00.00.57 and up ) and it should resolve the issue
