Hi all, new to the Forums. I love Windows 11 so far, but I'm having a few issues with it so I thought I'd join the club 
Steps to reproduce the issue I hope I've described well enough in the title:
1) Open multiple applications, ideally of varying Window sizes (none must be Full Screen; the Taskbar should remain visible)
2) Focus one of the apps to the foreground, so it's "on top" (we'll call this App A)
3) Click another app's taskbar icon (we'll call this App B)
If you're having the same problem I'm having, you should find that it takes multiple clicks to bring App B to the foreground, so that it displays on top of the others.
Moreover, I occasionally find that App B will display in front of Apps C, D and E, but App A will still remain in the foreground. So:
1) Focus an app to the front that has a smaller window than all of the others. This is App A.
2) The App you can see immediately behind this one we'll call App B.
3) Click another app's taskbar icon (this one can be App C).
In another version of the bug, App C will (eventually, after several clicks) display in front of App B, but behind App A.
I've never encountered this behaviour from any version of Windows I've ever used (previously, it was always a single click to bring an app to the foreground from the taskbar), and a quick search through the Taskbar Options isn't presenting anything helpful (it seems Microsoft have thinned out the customisation options even futher this time around).
Does anyone recognise this behaviour? Anyone also experiencing it? Anyone know of a fix? I would kindly ask that you don't reply unless the answer to any of these questions is "yes". If I haven't worded the question properly or given enough information, then I apologise in advance of those sorts of replies. I've done my absolute best to describe this problem in as much detail as possible, and it's very likely that you'll know what I'm talking about if you've encountered it before.
EDIT: Oh, the problem is also described here, with no resolution.
Thanks!
