Windows 8.1 clicking on any desktop window doesn't bring that window to the front

Not sure if this is a bug or a feature, but in my Windows 8.1 install, I can't seem to make any desktop window modal when I click on it. ie the window maintains its stacking order and doesn't come to the front. Most annoying!

Is anyone aware of a system setting I may have inadvertently switch off or...?

I have this same issue. It only started about a week ago. Did you get it fixed? – CoreyH – 2015-02-20T20:11:53.283

I am tagging along for this ride because I am experiencing the issue too. From what I can tell, it happened after the latest system update. I haven't found a solution yet, though. – Daved – 2015-02-23T17:43:16.663

Looks like it is related to Synergy. Check this bug report.

Some people were able to fix it by uninstalling the KB3013455.

How about when it happens when you aren't using synergy? – CarComp – 2015-08-12T14:46:20.613
