How to minimize a RDP session.

Hello all, I have launched a RDP session of a jump server. From there I have to launch two different RDP sessions (i.e. 100.1.1.101 and 100.1.1.102). I am able to launch 101 server and now I have to minimize it to return to jump server and from there I will launch 102 server.  I am facing difficulty while trying to minimize RDP session of 101 server. Is there any way I can minimize the RDP session of 101 server?

Ctrl+Alt+Break will make it into a window. Windows+Down will then minimize it. If you know which position it is on the taskbar, you can get to it by Win+#. For example, if the RDP session is the fourth icon on the task bar, you would press Win+4.

Side note - SendKeys has issues sending through RDP sometimes due to built-in security layers. If you run into this, you can instead send keys by passing arguments to AutoHotKey.
