      @Ru-ForNpp ,

      Some plugins might provide Notepad++ the “always on top” feature (which is not native, but could be supplied by a plugin like TopMost). If you don’t know whether you have a plugin which does that, maybe show us the ?-menu’s Debug Info

              Then what does About Notepad++ show? I am guessing you have an ancient version, if it doesn’t have Debug Info available.

                    Yes, that version is more than 5 years old now, ancient as far as software updates, bug fixes, and security are concerned.

                    Try downloading one of the zip packages of v7.8.9 (the most recent). Unzip it to a folder on your desktop (or somewhere else you can keep it temporarily). Close all instances of Notepad++. Run the version you just unzipped. Try the same experiment with running Explorer from File > Open Containing Folder > Explorer, from Context Menu > Open Containing Folder in Explorer, and from Run > Run > explorer.exe. Do you get the same results or different?

                    If that gives you better results, I recommend updating by downloading the installer manually. Please note, if you have plugins installed, you will need to re-install them all, because plugin location has changed between 6.7.7 and 7.8.9.

                      Please note: it is technically possible to move them all, but it’s easier to explain to just have you re-install them all, preferably using the modern Plugins > Plugins Admin (something that didn’t exist in your version, or any version before v7.6)

                        I updated it to 7.8.8(64 bit). But behaviour doesn’t change: Explorer with file opens in background

                          may it be affected by menue-settings-preferences-misc-file status auto detection ?
                          also the 32 and 64bit plugins differ by availiability .

                            What does the OP’s problem have to do with file status auto detection?
                            Nothing.

                              Windows has another api: SHOpenFolderAndSelectItems, which is much faster than invoking expolerer.

                              See my implementation.
