    A workaround for some of these problems is to open PS in a new desktop, then go back to your original desktop and do your work as usual. Go to the PS desktop to see the result. You can keep it there or close that desktop to let PS join your original desktop again.
    Works great here in Win 10 when I want to run droplets w/o seeing PS.
    To make a new desktop, click the Task View icon and click...

      I understand this is a work around but that's not ideal. I shouldn't have to  have essentially a virtual machine to prevent the software from dominating my system. This is especially problematic when I'm exporting multiple groups of files to phtoshop from lightroom. The photoshop screen keeps pulling me back into its screen instead of letting me stay in Lightroom.

      Workarounds are not ideal, but still a nice one for you, it seems... 😉

      BTW, I suspect several things in Photoshop are really javascript behind the scenes, and these scripts often contain app.bringToFront(); which may be a culprit here...

      Who knows, maybe some can be changed.
