    Stop new window from going to the background


    When I open a new window web browser, File Explorer, etc. it will often open for <1 second and disappear to the background, not minimize but just hide behind another window that I have open. If I'm fast enough to click on the window before it goes to the background then I can prevent it from doing that. This has been an issue for years, it's really annoying and I can't figure out how to make it stop. I'm running Windows 10 Home and I don't have the option to upgrade to 11.Any ideas?

    :)

  4. Stop new window from going to the background

    3d display stopping in background

    When I have another window in the forground, the background ATI TOOL .24b stops rendering. I sometimes want to stress the card while I am doing other things. I am running 2 monitors and enableing it to render in the "background" would be fantastic!

    Currently it only renders if I move another window around, as soon as I stop moving it, it stops rendering.
