LR Classic window is always on top

For how many more years will we have the issue that one cannot switch to other apps, because LR window becomes always on top? Yes, I know that restarting app or "simple" cycling through views using Shift+F solves that temporarily, but how about real solution? And I write "simple", because even with the new 13600K intel CPU and 64 GB RAM LR is still crawling to change these views. But ok with the latter (it's not a bug, but a feature, right?:-): will annoying "Always on top without asking" issue be ever fixed? This is clearly a bug! Which version? All versions since last 5 years probably! On Windows 10.

Thank you.

So I had the issue as usual yesterday (at first all works, then constantly always on top). Maybe I chose the wrong place to report. There's nothing to discuss here: the issue is not new, reported multiple times, no real solution found here or elsewhere. I will contact support directly later and post the solution (if any) here.

Moved to discussions? Why? It is a bug. And it is known for years (see here, for example: https://www.lightroomqueen.com/community/threads/lightroom-always-on-top.18292/)

I can not see any issue on my end.

To be honest, I'm not getting what exactly the issue is that you see, from your description.

I am glad for you - if you don't see it, it is not there, right? 🙂 I can describe it in very specific way: you open LR, do some editing, and at some point you press Alt+Tab to switch to your Spotify app to add that nice song to your favourites (of course, it's not Spotify, but any app you like to switch to), but you can't! Why? Because LR is (what is called since ages) "Always On Top".

OK, now I understand.

However, I still can not reproduce and Alt+Tab always works as expected on my end, no matter in which display mode I am, even in Full Screen.
