Have had this problem in windows 8 and I solved it back then with reinstall windows. Never found out what caused the minimizing of lfs and problem was always random. Sometimes happend after an hour playing or somtimes after few min.
And since yesterday I get this at insim relay
Could not connect to the relay to gather your information. Click on the 'Insim relay' tab above to try again.
For me if u watch my steam profile it will say LFS is still best
This game offer everything i want in race game. (even after all these years)
Really I don't mind to buy again. The group sim racers is small after all (racers will come back).
U see it in every race sim
just checked more info on this wheel. And I think it's just 270 degrees wheel.

What is the Hori RWA?
The Hori Racing Wheel Apex (RWA) is a gaming wheel for those who can’t quite justify such an outlay of £100-plus on the enthusiast kit from Logitech and Thrustmaster, In fact, you could easily spend more than £500 in this field if you want a fully decked out racing rig.
In addition, the RWA is a wheel for casual and arcade racer fans, not racing-sim enthusiasts. If you fall into this latter category, then spending the extra on the Thrustmaster T150 or Logitech G29 won’t be a waste.
