Windows 10: Keep programs from coming to top when they launch

Hi folks,

I work at home and generally have an assload of programs open at once. What I’m hoping to do is find a way to keep programs from immediately showing on top of other programs with a flashing taskbar icon every time I launch them.

For example, I always have four different browsers open at once, each with a different purpose as I work at two companies and like to keep my projects segregated. While I have a fast laptop with an SSD it still usually takes a few moments for a new program to fully launch and while it’s loading its taskbar icon will flash.

So if I’m opening several programs at once and want to work in a different program while they fully load Windows will keep putting the loading programs on top and essentially Alt+Tab’s me out of the program I want to stay in while they load. I’d like Windows to not do that and keep loading programs in the background without the flashing taskbar icons.

Is this possible?

Why did the startup window get cleared?

I didn't missed any step, the list was gone and gone , even after using lot of programs the programs were not listed in that list.
