    New window not Active when opening from Taskbar


    We have encountered an issue with Dell E7490 laptops. After the units are imaged, if you open a program, like the command prompt by Clicking on the Windows' button, and typing CMD, when the application opens, it's not "Active". You have to click on the application to make it active. Any suggestions?

    :)

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK
