      This is a problem that occured to me very often and it is driving me mad. When I start minecraft, it sometimes gets minecraft on foreground, and there is no way to minimize the window. When I reproduced it in the video, you can see that I needed to quit the game to stop recording. That doesn't make sense. I don't know if it is caused by the launcher or the game itself, but it happens the Windows launcher and the new windows app launcher on every single version of the game.

      This bug is even more serious if your game does not respond. Normally if the game does not respond, you can quit it using task manager. If the game is forced on foreground, you can't use task manager because it is constantly going pulling it away. So then the only way would be to restart your computer.

      How to reproduce.

      Note that this is only applied when minecraft is already set to fullscreen.

      1. Open the launcher
      2. Click to start minecraft
      3. While the game is starting, minimize the launcher and interact with another window.
