    minimized windows open and disappear


    Minimized windows open and disappear immediately behind maximized windows. Like as soon as it finishes opening!
    In order to view it or work on it I have to minimize the maximized windows. Or exit them.
    I know I caused it somehow.

    Does it happen if you use Ctrl + Tab or Windows key + tab to scroll through the windows open?

    Have you tried disabling the Aero feature and see if it still occurs?

    Another thing you can try is this:

    Newly opened program/email does not open in front - Microsoft Answers

    if 200000 doesn't work then try it with 0

    I changed it to 200 seconds and that helps. On occassion the first item I open from jumplist might do that. Then they open & stay. From the linked article it seems related to mail program. I installed Window Mail last week so I might be uninstalling it

    Thank you for help.
