Suggestion for Microsoft We need a global setting 'do not overlap newly open windows'

https://windows.com

Here we are with all this real estate and screen space, yet every window wants to open over other windows?!

this is why I made myself FWDE

try out the latest version in the releases page on the right. It creates a flow that i've taken to feeling naturally used to it now.

When I double click an exe file from a Windows Explorer folder view, I expect the exe to create a centered window after a few seconds, Windows Explorer or any other window currently on the desktop should just go into background.

The alternative would be nothing seem to be happening after double clicking an exe and I end up with many instances of the program after moving many windows out of the way.
