Can't live without that! If the problem were more reproducible, I'd oblige. But I'll try this when I next see the problem occur.
XYPlorer Fails to Open on Top of Other Windows Occasionally
Re: XYPlorer Fails to Open on Top of Other Windows Occasionally
Running on Windows 10 Pro 64-bit quad-core ASUS G752-VY notebook with 64 GB RAM, over 26 external USB3 drives attached via multiple powered hubs with letters and mount points, totaling 120+ TB.

Same thing for me - I can see the icon in the task bar, but no application window.
I have checked the no network browsing on startup... that seemed to work for a few days... but now the main program window is not showing up again.

Re: XYPlorer Fails to Open on Top of Other Windows Occasionally
When you re-open it everything looks normal again?

Re: XYPlorer Fails to Open on Top of Other Windows Occasionally
It is hit and miss... sometimes it will reopen and other times it will not.
I have not rebooted recently either. Though rebooting the PC doesn't seem to make much difference.
After a reboot, it can have the same issue where it will not start.
I have not had any problems today (so far).

Hm. Currently I'm clueless about this.

This seems to be corrected in 21.60.01
No issues since update

Re: XYPlorer Fails to Open on Top of Other Windows Occasionally
As an update, this issue of XYplorer not launching on top of other windows continues to plague me. It'll work most of the time, and then every once in a while it just won't launch on top of other windows. Since I have 4 monitors, I have to play a frustrating version of where in the world is XYplorer. This happens on both of my computers.
I did try the background processing setting even though I don't think that was meant for my particular issue.
Any other ideas? I really don't want to leave XYplorer. Everything else is perfect. But I don't know how else to fix this. Thanks for any help!

Re: XYPlorer Fails to Open on Top of Other Windows Occasionally
What is your setting here?
Configuration | General | Startup & Exit | Startup window state
Try to set it to "Normal" if it is set to "Last state". (I just hope it's not set to "Minimized".)

Re: XYPlorer Fails to Open on Top of Other Windows Occasionally
It was set to "last state." I switched to normal.
I often minimize, then later clean up windows with right-clicking on the taskbar to close rather than un-minimizing it then closing. By launching the app again after closing a minimized XYPlorer window, I can easily reproduce my issue when "last state" is set. Switching to "normal" works the way I'd like. Great!
Can't believe I didn't see this setting after all these years or think it might have been triggered by being in a minimized state. It's in a logical place in the settings so not sure how I missed it.
Thank you for the assist!

Well, it took also me almost one year to find the solution.

Re: XYPlorer Fails to Open on Top of Other Windows Occasionally
Just wanted to report back a few weeks later to confirm that the setting "Startup window state:" to Normal fixed the issue 100%. I've not had any problems since making this change.
Thanks again for the fix, and for making a great product.
