Windows 10: I can't tell if new 'active window' behavior is intentional or not after recent update.

A program, once opened from the taskbar (e.g. you click on the Chrome icon), will open but not be the active window--so you can't type anything into it or interact with it until you manually click on the now-open window. It feels intentional but is crazy annoying because it disrupts the workflow of every program. Is this meant to be new standard behavior? Can't find it described anywhere else.

Replicate Win7 behavior for Recent Documents?


I'm trying to figure out if there's any way to get back to the Window 7/WinXP behavior of Recent Documents on the Start menu. I liked being able to click the Start button, then just choose from a list of the most recent files from a jump list. I work with a number of different file formats throughout the day, saving them in different client folders. I understand that Microsoft has moved towards using the Recent Items view in a File Explorer window, but that means I always need to open yet another window, double-click the file I want, and close it when I'm done. Is there any way to just get it back to a jump list?

Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond Best regards.


And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.
