After running an app in elevated admin mode it can't be placed on top.

Interesting... This is probably because the UAC model will not allow the process handle to be manipulated... Have you tried running AlwaysOnTop as admin under UAC?

jparnell8839 commented 7 years ago

Nope, that's not a valid solution... If you have hotkeys enabled, every key gets intercepted... I'll take a look at this

I have my computer in UAC mode and generally don't run apps in an elevated state as it causes havoc with dragging and dropping. Hopefully, you can find a fix.

Is this issue related to Keyboard issue? #15
