Windows 10: Open a window as admin and then cannot select another opened window

So i have been having a very strange issue for about a month after an update. Whenever I open an app as a admin, I cannot click on or select other windows or even the desktop, that are not open as admin; only the window of the app that was opened as admin can be selected. The only way to select another app window is to use alt-tab. This happens for any app that I open as an admin. So, say I open Chrome as an admin, I cannot click on any other app window that I have open, such as Firefox for example, or the taskbar or the desktop, unless I close Chrome. Happens for any program I run as admin. After doing some troubleshooting, I found that if I have two different apps opened as admin, I can select between them, but still cannot select other app windows opened without admin rights. Not sure if this is a feature that was implemented in an update, but could not find any setting for it. Is there any way to change this if it's a setting, or how can this be fixed if it's a bug?

Windows 10 Tweaks

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

Command windows opening behind other windows

Hi all,

Hopefully a quick one here.

Ive made a small application to poll TeamCity build monitor take data about current and past builds and store them in a data base. Its only a very small application and im using windows task scheduler to run it every five minuets. Its working grand and does everything its meant to however when it runs it open a command window. Im not displaying anything nor taking user input and its finished and closed in under half a minuet but it opens on top of any windows I already have open. Control is still focused on the window I was working in before the command window opened. What id like to know is there a way within either task scheduler or something I can programme within the application to either stop the command window opening up but the application still run as its not needed or to make it automatically open behind all other open windows?

Thanks all

 

Windows 10 open window issue

Hello,

I suggest you to try the following steps and check:

DISM:

• 
  Open command prompt by pressing Windows key + X and selecting “Command prompt admin”.
  
• 
  In command prompt, type the following commands and press Enter after each command:
  
  DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth
  
  DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
  

• 
  Close the command prompt and restart the PC and check if it works.
  

Thank You.
