For months now, I have been experiencing an issue whereby my explorer jumps to the front and takes focus at random times. I assumed it was just me and a configuration issue on my machine until I noticed it happening on another PC from one of my colleagues. That made me look into this issue a bit more and it seems that this is quite a common occurrence and that Microsoft is aware of this issue. Do you know of any updates surrounding this issue or is there a place where we can follow up? Because I'm afraid that as we start rolling out Windows 11 within the company, we will get complaints from end users and later on potentially management as well.
Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening, apologies for the delay. I am assuming you tried: Open Settings, select Personalization, click on Start, turn off the Show recently opened items in Jump Lists on Start or the taskbar and in File Explorer. I'll follow up once you reply, but would also suggest filing an item in Feedback Hub right away so our engineers can directly troubleshoot with you.
- I also dug around in some of our prior content and saw one fix that worked more often than not: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/windows-explorer-jumps-to-top/9537cd98-7eb1-4df1-847c-c6e35193e06e. Let me know!
