When the excel table is minimized, it can't be found in the status bar because the taskbar is set to merge display. When there are too many open windows, the displayed icons will automatically merge and cannot be displayed in the taskbar. The solution is as follows:

1. Right-click an empty area of the taskbar, and then click Taskbar Settings.

2. The following screen will appear. Locate the Merge Taskbar button and click it.

3. A drop-down list appears with three options.

4. Select Never in this taskbar.

5. If "Never" is selected, the window will not be merged and will be displayed in the taskbar.
