P: CC jumps to front when opening files in the background.

Everytime I start Photoshop and immediately go back to things I was doing on my PC, Photoshop in a moment will steal the screen and open over the apps I was using. I minimize Photoshop to tray manually but within few seconds it opens over all my apps again. I can't find settings to prevent Photoshop from this hostile behavior. Can anyone advise what can I do to make Photoshop stop doing this? Because it is too annoying!

(PC, Windows 10 Pro, 64-bit.)

I am running Bridge on Mac El Cap. Since the most recent update, when I attempt to process images in Image Processor (IP), IP performs as directed, but will not run in the background and let me do other work while it is processing the images. This has never before been an issue. If I had 50 or 100 images processing, I could start IP and let it run in the background while I worked on something else. Now, the IP screen cannot be minimized; other programs cannot be accessed while it is running; if I attempt to open another program Photoshop IP jumps in front and continues processing the entire task in the foreground. This is a serious problem – since the last update, I am at a complete standstill and my work is completely paralyzed while IP runs. Please advise if there is a fix coming for this?
Thank you.

UPDATE: The latest update 2015.1.1 was the problem (for me). I reverted back to 2015.0.0 and the issue resolved. To have workflow paralyzed with no access to any other function on your computer while Photoshop runs thru Image Processor is not tolerable. Please fix this Adobe.

I can't even get it to minimize -- I'm on MAC El Cap. This was not an issue prior to the recent update. Have you reported? Tech support was underwhelming to say the least. I'm on a 1 year old MAC - all clean and current and no issues whatsoever - and no issues with CC until this last update - and his solution was that my system was most likely the cause. Then, when I gave him access to my desktop to check he issue, I ended up terminating the session bc he was clicking on things, changing things without adequately explaining what he was doing...made some changes to my workspace and asked for access to create a new user account....very uncommunicative - creeped me out. Called back to clarify where to send the bug report, and explained the problem to the new tech I spoke with and he said that Adobe was having bugs with El Cap and that that was most likely the source of the issue. Do you remember if this problem for you started after an update, or was it an issue since installation?

I have this issue also, through CC 2014 and into CC 2015. Very frustrating. The only way I can get to other windows is to minimize Photoshop into the dock.
The irritation is compunded by Photoshop not following system-wide settings and minimizing by double-clicking the window title bar.

This problem looks like it surfaced over a year ago...I am just having it show up in Image Processor since the last update. Has there been any action or resolution on this?

It continually jumps to the front when I try to switch to Illustrator or my web browser. I just have to keep trying until it stops or quit PS if it really just won't stop getting in the way. Very frustrating.

I concur, both LR and PS jump to the front at various points during their startup, where if it's just once then it is ok, but continually doing it after either has been put in the background is annoying. Not everyone is running everything on SSDs.

I mitigate these interruptions, somewhat, by having two monitors and do my "other" work on the monitor that PS is not opening on, but focus still gets taken away, it's just not covering over what I'm doing, so I can just re-click on my input box if I'm typing and get focus back.
