So my work laptop just updated to 24H2 (26100.1742) earlier this week. I use a KVM switch to toggle between wok and personal machines, and I note that when I switch back to my work machine it now opens all of the windows that were minimized to the task bar. Not fatal behavior, but certainly a pain in the arse. Any ideas hive mind?

Yeah, that did the trick, though the wording on the first switch is a bit vague in respect to that behavior.
