    SimTools is designed to minimize to the tray when it starts up, as that way it stays out of the way in use, as you only need the windows to make adjustments.

    Clicking on the minimized tray icons should open the SimTool windows so you can make adjustments:

    Even when I left click on it from the tray. It doesn't show up. It just minimizes again.

    If you mean SimTools its requirements are minimal, if your computer can run modern simulation games SimTools while have minimal system impact.
