There isn't a built in way to dynamically update window viewer features (such as minimize & maximize buttons). However you can call a .bat file that calls a Powershell script that minimizes / restores view.

For example place a button with an action script that calls the.bat file 

StartApp("C:\Users\dNichi\Desktop\MinAll.bat");

The bat file then calls the Power shell script.

START "" powershell -NoLogo -WindowStyle Hidden -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "C:\Users\dNichi\Desktop\minAll.ps1"

The Power shell script then minimizes all windows.
$shell = New-Object -ComObject "Shell.Application"
$shell.minimizeall()

You can restore the minimized windows with the following power shell script likely based off a condition script or....

Restore
$shell = New-Object -ComObject "Shell.Application"
$shell.undominimizeall()

This script will minimize and restore based on the sleep interval. 
Minimize & Restore with a Delay
$shell = New-Object -ComObject "Shell.Application"
$shell.MinimizeAll()
start-sleep -Seconds 5
$shell.undominimizeall()
