This is a very general question for a problem that has many answers. Programs that you would like to run in the background need to have an option somewhere in their configuration menu or options menu in order to change whether it will be active or not while the window itself is inactive. As far as I know, the only way you can change this manually is for you to be a programmer and do this yourself somehow (I am learning, but I have no idea as of now). So, depending on what program it is you want to run while inactive, you need to look through the configuration/options files, looking for options such as "Pause program while inactive?". That's about it, though.

When you a window it is hidden from view but still open and running.?

When you minimize a window on your computer, it is removed from the visible screen but remains active in the background. This allows you to keep programs running without them taking up space on your desktop. You can easily restore the minimized window by clicking its icon in the taskbar, allowing you to return to your tasks seamlessly.

What are the three states of a window?

The three states of a window are minimized, maximized, and restored (or normal). In the minimized state, the window is reduced to an icon on the taskbar, allowing users to save screen space. When maximized, the window occupies the entire screen, providing a larger workspace. The restored state represents a window that is neither minimized nor maximized, allowing for adjustable size and position on the desktop.

When the close button on a window's title bar is clicked the window no longer displays on the desktop and the recessed window button in the taskbar button area changes to a nonrecessed button is this?

This behavior indicates that the window has been closed, which typically means it is no longer active or visible on the desktop. The change from a recessed to a non-recessed button in the taskbar signifies that the application is no longer running or minimized. If the application is still running in the background, it may remain active but not visible. This functionality is common in most graphical user interfaces.


What is Active window?

An active window is the window of an application you are using by that time. If you open Google Chrome, Windows Media Player together, but you are operating Google Chrome, then Google Chrome is the active window. If you are using Windows Media Player instead of Google Chrome, then Windows Media Player is the active window.

Are programs running on task bar?

Yes, any programs you see on your taskbar are running. If you have them "open" then that would make them active, if they are minimized they are still running, but only in the background. To see a list of all running programs (active and inactive), press "CTRL + ALT + DEL" to view a task manager. From that window you can end any processes you don't want running.
