Why does my File Explorer pop to front randomly while open?

I'll open file explorer, then I'll click to another window, file explorer still in the background. I'll be working on something or watching something for a while, then the File Explorer window will randomly pop up to front. This is not a problem if I close the File Explorer window, only when running in the background.
