BUG: After closing a window, focus goes to the Taskbar
In Windows 10 and 11 when you switch to a window by clicking its Taskbar button (i.e., not by Alt+Tab) and then close it, focus goes to the Taskbar and not to the most recent window. I consider this ...
I'm having a related problem. When I'm navigating an explorer window with the keyboard and open a .txt file with notepad, if I then close the file with alt+F4 the typical behavior in past versions is that the explorer window is in focus again so I can continue navigating with the arrow keys never having to touch the mouse or do anything else to bring the window back in focus. This is how I quickly review old files and delete them. Other file types/programs are not exhibiting this behavior. I almost expected the Photos app to do so because I'm having another issue which affects both Notepad and Photos (if I open existing files via start menu search, they open behind all other windows).
