Open chrome (to view this website), then Notepad, then Calculator, (could be any windows, but for the purpose of demonstration, follow along with me) Once you actually have the super sate issue, the following will reproduce:

So, back to square one with finding the actual instigator of the super state phenomenon.

WINDOWS 10 ALT TAB NOT WORKING AND WINDOW ALWAYS ON TOP PLUS

This was because: After messing around some more with a chrome session saver (session buddy) and restoring sessions and getting the super state, I restored and closed the window I was in and now I am again at a place where I can not reproduce the error, even in my "work environment" with some 35 chrome tabs in two windows, plus other programs, file locations, remote desktops and a second chrome profile with another dozen tabs.

WINDOWS 10 ALT TAB NOT WORKING AND WINDOW ALWAYS ON TOP WINDOWS

I almost think it could be initialized with something to do with multiple windows of Chrome, and then the show desktop problem will crop up once one window has it.

Initially I could not reproduce the error, then after opening all my working windows, I did indeed reproduce it on any window. It appeared to have cleared by closing all windows and restarting. How do we get windows to unassign the special super status or not do the assignment in the first place? When you click the start menu or context menu of the taskbar, the start menu/taskbar comes to the foreground of the always-on-top group, however this does not revert the affected windows, only a temporary takeover until you switch to something other than the start menu/taskbar. The feature appears to place windows in a super window state that is on top of the taskbar (the normal group remaining behind the taskbar).

WINDOWS 10 ALT TAB NOT WORKING AND WINDOW ALWAYS ON TOP WINDOWS 7

The fact that the affected windows are on top of the taskbar and otherwise function as "special windows" shows that windows 7 must have a hidden "feature" of always-on-top that gets applied with the show desktop function. The whole group does not respond to (context on taskbar) "cascade windows" or similar commands.The whole group is in front of the taskbar.The group as a whole is always-on-top of any non-affected window.You can place multiple/many windows into this always-on-top state, those in the affected state will function normally in relation to each other with the exception that: The affected windows (of any program) seem to be placed into a separate "Z" group. ⊞ Win+ d issue easy to replicate on Win7-64bit-Ultimate. The only cure seems to close the offending windows so far, I've not found anything else that helps.Ĭould it be that Windows 7 has a bug that can force an ALWAYS_ON_TOP flag onto some windows when restoring from "Show Desktop", or am I doing something wrong? Between those, I can easily switch, but in order to get a window which still behaves normally on top, I have to manually minimize the offending windows. Showing and unshowing the desktop again doesn't help in the worst case another window might end up with the "glued to the top of the z-order" too. This should show that this problem can occur even between multiple instances of the same application, and that there are no fancy applications involved that like to pretend they are the most important program and internally force "always on top".

It does not matter what kind of application in my current case an instance of Outlook and an instance of Explorer is stuck, while a second instance of Explorer and an instance of Firefox behave normally.

in second situation, any keyboard typing is sent to window B while window A is in the foreground. Imagine the following situations, all three windows cascading and overlapping:Īnd so on. What this means is, say, I have windows A B and C open, with focus on A, hit ⊞ Win + D twice, and now it may happen that if I then want to switch to B or C, either by Alt+ Tab or by selecting them on the taskbar, the taskbar shows the highlight, but A stays visible (and usable, it's not just a rendering issue) in the foreground. What I found under Windows 7, when you use the "Show Desktop" feature (I prefer the ⊞ Win + D shortcut) and then bring all windows back by using it again, some windows behave as if they're glued to the front of the z-order. No worries, not another "where is my show desktop button gone" question.
