  2. Clicking top right corner of X button closes the Window behind

    Hello, I have the problem that when I click on the top right corner of the screen to close the maximized window, it closes the window behind the current window. This problem does not appear for all programs, but I've noticed that it appears in word, outlook powerpoint and task manager. So for example when I want to close a maximized Word window, I throw my cursor to the top right corner of the screen to click the x button. Then, instead of closing word, it closes the window behind word. It goes even further for example when the window behind word is task manager, it closes the window behind task manager.

    This problem doesn't appear in firefox, adobe acrobat reader, explorer, settings, notepad++ and visual studio code. I didn't check all programs on my computer, these are just those where I noticed the problem does not appear.

    I've found this question from two years ago, which seams to have the same problem:

    Redirecting

    The answer for this question is to change the dpi settings of the program in the compatibility tab in properties. Because not every program has the compatibility tab in its properties, the answer suggests to add a registry key. I have this problem on my work laptop, so I'm not allowed to edit the registry and IT won't do it for me.

    Here's some additional Information which might be useful to find the answer: I work on a laptop with a second monitor. My laptop's resolution is 1920x1080. Resolution of the second screen is 1920x1200. I thought maybe the odd resolution of my second screen has to do something with my problem but it also occurs when I unplug the second screen. I've never had the problem with windows on my second screen, only on my laptop screen.

    I have windows 10 version 21H2 build 19044.2486 installed. My laptop has Intel UHD Graphics 620 and AMD Radeon Pro WX3200 Graphics.

    I hope somebody can help me to find a solution for my problem. If you need more Information or something is unclear, feel free to ask me.
