I have noticed that any of our newer programs are no longer showing up in the Windows taskbar when they start up. I didn't notice that issue in our older programs, but it may have happened. If a program takes a while to start up (working remotely, large program, network slowness, etc) and it does not have focus initially (example: I have switched over to Outlook to read emails while the program is loading) the program will not show up in the Windows taskbar even after the PowerBuilder program window has opened until I click on the program. As soon as the program gets focus it will show up in the taskbar. The problem is the user wouldn't know the program is running if they have a lot of programs open.
I thought maybe a windows function call to set focus to the program, to force it to have focus, might be the answer, but I'm not sure which one! Has anyone else had this issue? We are using both Windows 10 and Windows 11.
