Windows 10: Why do I have to click twice to select something in a MS program that's not in focus?

No program by any other company behaves like this! Here's an analogy: Two people are walking along the street chatting. I tell one of them their house is on fire. They do something about it. Now lets imagine that person is from Microsoft. He's walking along chatting and I say "your house is on

:)

 

Running a program twice?

the point is, you cant run steam twice in the same OS.

even if he did run it in a VMware, or on another physical machine - he doesnt get what he wants out of it (access to both friends lists in the steam overlay, or whatever he actually wants)

 

Update removed vignette and selective focus - what's the alternative?

So the Windows built-in photo editor was changed (horrible interface) but more so, I've lost the ability to add vignette and selective focus to my photos. MS isn't bringing them back anytime soon - so what is the alternative?

How do I add either of these effects to photos quick and easily (and FREE)? Tried the App store and couldn't find anything. Was suggested to use Polarr, but they updated their free app and dropped selective focus unless you pay $$ (plus since the update
it doesn't load photos correctly). Grrrr. So any other suggestions?

 

Why did the startup window get cleared?

I didn't missed any step, the list was gone and gone , even after using lot of programs the programs were not listed in that list.
