[Press this key]
Windows logo key + D
[To do this]
Display and hide the desktop.
There is an issue that does not automatically activate when "pdf xchange" appears on the screen after pressing this shortcut twice.
This can cause inconvenience of having to use the mouse every time to activate "Pdf xchange".
Is there any way to solve it?
Thank you.

Hello cheonantech,
If you switch desktops with the Task View (virtual desktop) feature, the activation problem you describe doesn't seem to occur.

- Win + Ctrl + D --- opens a new virtual desktop
- Win + Ctrl + F4 --- closes the current virtual desktop
- Win + Ctrl + Left/Right --- switches to the virtual desktop on

Re: Deactivation issue after pressing "window + D" 2 times
Hello rakunavi,
Many thanks for this alternative approach!
And I've managed to reproduce the "not active" issue described in the original post - but this seems to affect all applications I tried - from my web browser to notepad. Win + D done twice will indeed then require a mouse click to activate a window, and for me it seems to be true irrespective of which was your active application at the time of the first Win + D press.
Kind regards,
Stefan

Hi Stefan, thank you for your comment.

It depends on the application in my environment. For example, in the case of Microsoft Edge and Acrobat, the focus was maintained without any click even after switching with Win+D, so I was able to continue the operation (e.g., text input).Tracker Supp-Stefan wrote: ↑Mon Jan 16, 2023 12:54 pm And I've managed to reproduce the "not active" issue described in the original post - but this seems to affect all applications I tried - from my web browser to notepad.

Re: Deactivation issue after pressing "window + D" 2 times
Hello rakunavi,
I tested with Notepad and my daily web browser (opera) and both had exactly the same behaviour. I just tested now with edge (while typing in this reply) and it also lost focus for me. I am still on Win 10, due to update to 11 shortly - but it would seem that a lot of applications are affected and I suspect this is more of a Windows thing than an issue with our products.
Glad that there is a workaround and you have shared it with us!
Kind regards,
Stefan
