I'm guessing that now after launching, you can click the button on the
taskbar to get it back, correct?

If it is launching minimized, all you need to do is right-click the VPC
shortcut, and select properties. In the "Run" dropdown box, select
"Normal Window" then click OK.

VPC should then start normally.
