Does KSP refuse to minimise sometimes?

[THX1138]

Often during loading/changing scenes, KSP refuses to minimise when I press Alt + Tab and I have to wait and look at the hung screen until it's finished at which point it lets me Alt + Tab (which defeats the purpose because I wanted to Alt + Tab to avoid the wait). Is it the same for everyone or specific to me?

"refuse" is the wrong word, "is literally unable to respond to any input" is more like it.

Is it KSP or Windows (7 in my case) that is responsible? If I hold Alt + Tab then I can see other windows (with the Alt + Tab list of windows in the middle) but when I release, I got straight back to unresponsive KSP.

KSP, because it's too busy.

This. It does it to me too. Patience, grasshopper. Give it a second.

Loading screens are the worst time to alt-tab though, because that's when the hard drive is being hammered hardest and most things loaded/unloaded...

If you don't have an SSD, look into getting one though. KSP, even modded, is much much faster from solid state than mechanical hard drive

You clearly have a much better computer than I do!

OK, 10 seconds.
