P: Stealing focus on launch

When launching Lightroom 6.7 on Windows 7, it can take a little while to initiate and do it's thing (even loading from a fast SSD).

Normally that'd be fine as I just bring other programs to the foreground and continue with other tasks while it loads in the background. However, I count 3 times where Lightroom steals priority from whatever other program I have just to show me the next step in its loading process. Please make it stop or only do it at the very final step?

Yes Rick, I confirmed that here 2 months ago. Thank you. Now if you could just let us be able to set up multiple, named crop presets that would be excellent 🙂

@Rick Although it was fixed for start up, it is still a problem on export in LR 9.4. I get messages popup in LR about Sync which didn't happen before the update. Also, after a while I cannot use Alt+Tab(Win 10) to switch to another task. I have to minimize LR first. A real pain.

As this item has been discussed about for 4 years very emotionally and also has annoyed some of us for a long time at every LR start, it would have been really worth being mentioned in the release notes to get you guys some praise for listending to us customers!

good job and thanks for fixing this annoying bug!

Correct - this fix was integrated in 9.4 but not called out on release day.
