After a long absense from work when using Illustrator 2020 in Windows it will always stay on top of any other window or application I open and it didn't do it before, can someone throw some light on the situation?

Hello @Adrian5D1E,

 

We understand that encountering technical issues can be frustrating. Would you mind trying to run Illustrator under a different administrator account (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/create-a-local-user-or-administrator-account-in-windows-20de74e0-ac7f-3502-a866-32915af2a34d) and checking if it helps?

 

Looking forward to your response.

 

Thanks,

Anubhav

I have this issue as well. I wake my computer from sleep and Illustrator is on top of other apps by force. I can't get my other apps to overlap Illustrator. I have to minimize it in order to interact with anything else. Very frustrating bug. Hope to see a fix soon.

Is this using a Mac or PC, just so anyone answering will have a better idea.

Is this onto a single or extended screen just out of interest..? Have you reset you preferences..?
