Hi all, i'm experiencing an annoying problem with uVision 5: when I go into debug session and then go back to the edit session, the uVision 5 stays always on top and I can't switch between the other open programs. I must shut down the uVsion and re-open. Could anyone help me? Thanks in advance

Hello Davide, are you using the "Show Desktop" feature of Windows sometimes (Win+D)? It looks like the always-on-top attribute is then sometimes set to the active window when returning from the desktop. Can you try Ctrl+Alt+Esc on the uVision window?

Further investigation:
Always on top seems to only be enabled when Keil is maximized when starting the debug session.
Always on top seems to only be disabled when Keil is maximized when stopping the debug session.
sometimes when Keil is not maximized and debug session is started, it will lay itself under the previous used program, and you will need to select any other program and keil again in order to raise up the window again. But this happens more rare, so not able to find a pattern here.
ctrl-alt-escape minimizes the window, but sometimes needs to press it twice in Keil. Does not change always on top if it has been enabled.
I have not used windows + d (show desktop) in this windows login session until now.
Keil is the only software on this machine that does this funky always on top.
Hi Matthias,
I never used the "Show Desktop" feature. Anyway, the workaround that you suggested works fine: Ctrl+Alt+Esc minimize the window and when re-maximized the window doesn't stay on top. It's not the solution, but it works. Thanks!
