Windows 10: Pinned RDP to Start not working correctly

I have RDP pinned to Start Win10. I pinned several computers to the list when right click the pinned RDP. Prior to the last Win10 updates July 2020, when I click on one of the computers, the connection popup would appear and the start menu would disappear and I could enter the password and make a connection. Now the start menu does not close and the connection popup does not have the focus. I have to click on the connection popup several times to make the start menu disappear and cause the connection window to have the focus so I can enter the password and make the connection. This also happens if I tunnel down through the start menu and right click on RDP under Windows Accessories. I have seen this on three different Win10 computers. Anyone else having a similar problem?
