MSDN_Geek we recently made a fix for the showmodaldialog issue in the latest Canary. If you can test it there, it should work for you.

We've got a known issue where having Forcepoint software installed will cause this to happen.

mindstThanks for the tip, but its complex to inform all the users and is not intuitive. The behavior if not visible in the IE11 browser.

Microsoft friends, can someone look into this issue since this is the basic feature of using the Modal dialog. The issue can be easily replicated by following steps:
1. Open any Modal Dialog
2. Visit desktop or minimize all windows by shortcut key, Win+D,

josh_bodner, can you help pass within your team and share some update?

Thanks for your help and looking into this.
