Windows 10: Cascade Windows doesnt allow me anymore to direct access my Desktop !!!

I used the Cascade Windows option and even after i chose the UNDO Cascade Windows option all windows i open from now and on seem to always be on top in terms to my desktop.

Before if i had a word or a notepad file open for example and i clicked on my desktop then i would go directly to my desktop. Now after using the Cascade Windows option and even after undoing it if i click on my desktop when i am using any program then the program stays on top and i have to either close it or minimize it to be able to access my desktop or to press the show desktop option and thats frustrating.

Thanks for any help in advance.

Cascading menu for text editors


There was this for XP...
Mmm FREE Download

and shelltoys allowed moving context menu items to a 'Rarely used' folder.

Trying to find something current may be hard.

You might want to consider which editors are relevant to which extensions.

This suggests extensive registry hacking (I provide it merely on an indicative basis):
