    Hi All,For quite a while now on my Dell laptop I have this pesky -really annoying- problem that I cannot find the cause for.Every so and so often I'm in need of running taskmanager to check what other running apps are doing and consuming on my system.However, when taskmanager is running and it's window is showing opened on the desktop, all interaction with other open windows is blocked.I can click in any other open windows that is showing, but focus is not moved to that window, i.e. nothing happens.I can hover over the icons on the taskbar, get a miniature of the running app, but clicking the

    Wait, but have you done the whole step-by-step guide described in the OP? DDL/DTS isn't supported natively by Windows 8/8.1 either, unless if you do the steps listed there.

    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
