    Can't click on any window but one


    Hi,
    I needed to relaunch my Windows session to solve my issue.

    Legend:
    Foreground: active window
    Background: inactive window, window behind the active window.
    Clickable: can interact with the UI of the window, including its Windows top bar reduce, close, etc.

    Issue:
    Basically, I couldn't click on anything but one random window. If I clicked on any window in the background, the window didn't go back into the foreground; the window outline color stayed neutral and nothing happens.

    By "one random window", I mean there was always one window I could click, normally interact with. If I send it to the background, I could click it again to bring it back to the foreground. If I closed that window, another window became clickable ang goes on. The others ones remained unclickable and screwed in the background.

    When I did Win+Tab, I still couldn't click anything and I couldn't scrolling the page neither with my mouse.

    I could do nothing on the desktop.

    When I positioned my cursor at the bottom of my screen, my auto-hidden Windows Bar didn't show up. Press Windows key did show my Windows Bar up.

    I could put any window to the foreground with Alt+Tab but clicking the window instantly brought it back to the background.

    I could interact with the web UI of Google Chrome as long as I don't click on the Windows outline bar close, reduce, tab, etc.. In that case, I would need Alt+Tab again to bring it back to the foreground.

    Failed workarounds:

    - Quit process as much as possible in Task Manager

    - Relaunch Windows Explorer

    - Disconnect keyboard

    :)
