Question / Help Cant open anything else

[ExplosiveGinger]

When I have OBS open, to be able to open any other program I have to minimise it and then open it, is there a way to fix this cause its very annoying. Well I can open other programs but OBS does not automatically minimise.

Why would OBS automatically minimize?

Every application automatically minimisis and means if I need to edit anything like adding a clr browser i cannot

I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

Any fullscreen games will automatically minimize when alt-tabbed out of, due to how fullscreen mode works (the OS hands control of the display over to the game and stops rendering itself in the background). This is one reason why a second monitor is considered basic livestreaming hardware, as it will let you keep OBS on it to preview the stream going out while still playing fullscreen games on the main monitor.
OBS is not a fullscreen application, so will not minimize on its own.

Ok so when you usually open something on your computer it usually open infront of what you are currently viewing but when i have obs open it will just go behind it fix?
