I'm running F24 with Mate (with four panels, if that matters), and I can't seem to find windows I've minimized. Where are they? How do I get them back??

I'm running the epel Mate on Centos 7. the bottom panel shows all windows whether open or minimized, just like Gnome2 (or Windoze 95, for that matter).

To the OP, what happens if you press Alt-Tab and let it go? That should bring up an alternate view. In fact, holding it should show a dialog with a list of all alternatives available to you. Your minimized windows should be in that list, and selectable by continuing to press Tab to step through the list.
Is it possible you deleted the window instead of minimizing it? Windows shouldn't just disappear on their own. If they are, it's a bug. Were there any updates immediately before this started to happen?

OK, many thanks! With that assurance I mouse-hovered even what looked (to my ancient eyes) like flyspecks; one was the list of minimized windows, and it works.
Followup question: there are a few other icons that I don't even see, unless I look hard and slowly. Is there a way to enlarge individual icons, while leaving the rest alone??
Thanks again!

Try right-clicking on the panel (taskbar) and kooking for Panel -> Preferences (or some such). You should be able to make the panel taller (and thus get larger icons), and the item that shows the windows may have a grouping setting (mine is "Never").
