Some random windows remain in front - new windows open in the background

Hello

I have a very annoying and recurring question: one or more windows of my session always remain at the top of others. She does not always affect the same software (I've experienced with Chrome, Visual Studio, Windows Explorer, MS Word, MS Excel, notepad...). Sometimes a single window is affected, sometimes 2 or 3 (as 1 word document, chrome and 1 explore window). I think this is a Windows problem, because it is not logical that all these software would default at the same time, with no repeatable behavior.
If I open a new window (Notepad, calculator, internet room to connect to this Internet site, Panel, etc) it will be displayed in the background, so the only way that I have to see him (or even know it's here) is to reduce all windows until I find the one I want. If I select using the bar of tasks, or alt + tab, it presents in the face, but as soon as I let go of the mouse button / key, windows 'stay face' returns. If I drag a new window to a position of the screen where a defective window, he is dragged behind it (even if I focus on that).
I first thought that I had a session corrupted, so I created a new one with the new username etc, but the problem is the same. I did some research and it seems to be a well known since Win98 problem, so I tried several "tricks" supposed to work (change the behavior to 'combine' or 'lock' bar tasks, use/not use aero peek, remove all software pointing device running, run a windows update, change the ForegroundLockTimeout setting...). Either the "fix" doesn't work at all, or it does for only 20 to 40 minutes (just enough for me to notice it's gone and you can enjoy the normal use of a computer...), before returning.
I hope my description is clear enough for you, the experts to understand what the problem is and give me a solution.

  • Everytime I open a new firefox window, a new tab opens with the new window. How do I stop this?

    Everytime I open a new Firefox window, the new window opens to the page of hope (as I want him), but then a tab opens with the new window. I want Firefox to stop doing this. When I open a new window I want just the window to open it. I don't know how to solve this problem I've known idea how I did that happen. First of all, it happened when I hit Ctrl + N to open a new window, but I did not hit the "N" itself. I pressed one of the other keys around the "N" and this issue has started.

    It's quite strange!

  • Why a new tab (Middle-click) in a new window open in the original window?

    Something has already changed the default Firefox behavior. In the same window, not the 'original' or another window should open a new tab.

  • Installation of the driver software window opens on the second monitor in a dual monitor extended installation of the monitor

    The "Software Installation" window will open on the second monitor in a dual monitor extended installation of the monitor

    I have a dual display setup. A 225WS 1680 x 1050 monitor LG is connected via a VGA cable and a VGA - DVI converter to a DVI port on a Radeon 6850 video card. The second screen is a Samsung HDTV set at 1920 x 1080 and connected via HDMI on the same video card. I have set up the screen LCD as main monitor and the Samsung HDTV as the extended display. HDTV is most of the time, but I use it at least once a day. This isn't a driver problem, because it happened also when I had an old Nvidia video card and it is fixed by a new installation of windows and setting up of screens from a square.

    The installer works great almost all the time except when I try to use some programs or Windows functions (7). When I try to start the MozBackup application or I pop in a new usb device and click on the notification bubble, both these windows (MozBackup and the "Driver software Installation" window) open in the center of the HDTV as opposed to the LCD (which is defined as primary). The problem is that the views are ~ 3 meters out and HDTV is mostly off.

    I sent a bug report to the developer of MozBackup because this part is perhaps a problem with its software or what old Windows functions and hooks it uses, but the window "Installing the driver software" (or who knows what other program Windows Basic) has exactly the same problem and is part of Windows.

    What can I do about it? I DIDN'T put the displays in any mode "clone" to have office in mirror between them. Is - this fixable somehow? I guess that is not a problem with the video card drivers because I used two different video cards with either the manufacturer or windows update drivers and the problem is the same.

    I'm talking about a window similar to this one
     
    http://jaunty-electronics.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Freedom_FRDM-KL25Z_driver_install.PNG

    Try changing the backup.ini

    you find it in

    .. \Program files (x86)\MozBackup\backup.ini

    Open the file backup.ini with editor

    Check if you have the rights to save the changed files in this directory. You may need to change the Directory rights

    Change the value of "1": monitor

    wyzodir =

    ; Monitor: the monitor number where MozBackup window will appear

    monitor =1

    '2' or whatever the value of your primary monitor is:

    wyzodir =

    ; Monitor: the monitor number where MozBackup window will appear

    monitor =2

    System main screen could be identified as '1 '. If you have changed the monitors, it can be used internally '2 '.

  • Can not register opimize: when I start computer, a window opens opimize the registry failed

    When I start computer a window opens opimize the registry failed

    Hi Harry,.

    Looks like you have some program registry installed and programmed to run at startup, which does not work.  I suggest we identify and remove the boot and then remove it totally from the system (uninstall).  Registry modification programs are generally risky, rarely do much good, can cause great harm and are not really necessary as Windows does a good job of managing the registry on its own.

    Try a boot minimum http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135.  If the problem goes away then it's just a matter of tracking down the culprit at the origin of the problem.   Follow the procedures described in the article.  Once found, remove, delete, disable or uninstall.  Once don't forget to reset your operating system to normal status, as described in the procedures. If the problem occurs in clean mode then just restore the system to normal and reboot - this solution will not work.

    Start in safe mode with network and see if the problem is here.  A result allows us to narrow down the search for the cause.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • Is it possible to add a HIGHLIGHT / COLOR for a browser window open on the taskbar?

    Hello. We use Outlook Web APP.
    At the same time, we have several windows open on the taskbar.
    Is it possible to be able to highlight or maybe 'color' expressly only this browser window is no longer visible among all the other open windows?

    Thank you.

    I don't think that it is possible to set a background color the buttons of the label on the Windows taskbar-specific because this bar is under the control of the Windows operating system.

    What is displayed above is to set a specific color to tabs in a Firefox window.

  • When I open the Firefox browser, as well as my homepage of opening, a new tab opens in the same time, how can I stop this please?

    This problem has only just begun and I don't know why. When I click the icon to open the Firefox browser, my homepage tab opens and another new tab opens to the sides of my Home Page tab. I checked and none are tube not characters in my address of the home page.

    This seems to take place (e.g., Firefox opens my home page AND a new tab at startup - unsolved).

    In case one of your extensions is in question, could test you mode without failure of Firefox? It is a standard diagnostic tool to disable some advanced features of Firefox and extensions. More info: questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode.

    You can restart Firefox in Mode safe help

    Help > restart with disabled modules (Flash and other plugins still works)

    In the dialog box, click on 'Start mode safe' (not Reset)

    Any difference when using the Home key or open a new window (Ctrl + n)?

    Hi all

    Is it possible to have the new tabs open to the right of the current tab, you are, as opposed to the default which is to the right of the last tab open?

    I know that it's automatic when you click on a link in the tab in the course, but would be very happy to be able to do this for new tabs.

    Thank you!

  • Why the default format window opens in the new documents open in Pages 5.6.1?

    Someone else asked this before, but it is with an older version of Pages, and it's a few years, so I thought I'd make a new discussion.

    Everytime I open a new document in Pages (version 5.6.1 on OS 10.11.2, on a 13 "Macbook Pro of 2009), the formatting window is open. It's ugly and I do not want to use immediately. What is the default? Like other posters, I tried to create a model that does not do that, but even at the opening with the model, it opens but each time. As in the other poster said: this is not a terrible amount of work, but it is very annoying to do all the time. This has happened for years. A word about the recent patches?

    Not and unlikely he's going to change.

    Hi Vickie,

    Go ahead and uncheck (similar group task buttons) that should allow it to work properly.
