    Background windows getting minimized when overlapped


    Hi,


    Whenever I drag a window slightly on top of another open window (so it overlaps), the window in the background is automatically minimized. How do I keep this from happening??



    Regards


    Remy

    Dual Monitor Window Overlap

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community, I understand your concern and we will try to assist you the best way we can.

    Before we proceed, I would like to know if the overlapping happens when the windows is
    "minimized" or the same issue persist when its "maximized".

    If the issue occurs when the window is minimized, I would suggest that you click on the
    "maximized" button hold ctrl and close the window. Then reopen the same windows and check if the overlap re occurs.

    Hope this information helps.
