Windows 10: win 10 no longer opens new app/window on top of existing

Recently upgrade to new PC with Win 10 I now find the OS no longer open a new window on top of any others that are open

They open but are in the background and I then need to close or minimise or move the window that has the focus

This has only begun to be an issue after several weeks of use of new WIN10 It was not an issue or problem for me when I added s/ware I want

Any ideas on how I can resolve this to have OS open an app or window on top of any or all of the existing open windows

TIA

:)

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

Mail app will not open on 10041.


Hello Adam,

This is the suggested solution below if you haven't already tried it.

In this Windows 10 build 10041, the Mail, Calendar, and People apps may be broken due to a licensing issue with the Store Beta. To get these apps working again, you need to follow these steps:

• Open powershell as administrator
• Run the command Get-appxprovisionedpackage –online | where-object {$_.packagename –like “*windowscommunicationsapps*”} | remove-appxprovisionedpackage –online
• Re-install Mail, People and Calendar from the Store (green tile)
