Minecraft recently “re-installed” itself with the new title “Minecraft for Windows.” Since then, I’ve not been able to access my taskbar or close and minimize the game while I’m playing. I play in fullscreen, but that didn’t affect it until now.

In 1.21.120, Minecraft switched from UWP to GDK. As a result, UWP-exclusive features, such as those you mentioned, are no longer available. This is not a bug.
