Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue on Windows 10 x64 with the linked mpv v0.41.0-dev build and the shown mpv.exe command. Use the attached screenshot and log to investigate why the minimize, maximize, and close buttons do not respond; done means all three window buttons work normally.
