Everything is always on "top" but it's unticked in View Settings

[Just Visiting]

I uninstalled and reinstalled Everything, but it insists on being on top of my windows.

Unless I minimize Everything first, it will appear on top of any other Window I have open. This is especially true when "Show Desktop" or minimize my open Windows in W11 or when I toggle the Windows open again. I don't recall having this issue with Windows 7.

My workaround is to resize the Everything Window and move it to the corner. But, when I maximize or move the Everything Window to the forefront, it once again dominates the display.

Please try disabling Always on top:

• In Everything, from the View menu, under the On top submenu, click Never.

If this happens often, consider removing the Ctrl + T shortcut:

• In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  Click the Keyboard tab on the left.
• To the right of show commands containing, type in:
  on top
• Select View | On Top | Always
• Select Ctrl + T and click Remove.
• Click OK.

Does the issue persist?
What version of Everything are you using?

Thanks, but I already mentioned in my post that Always on Top has been disabled. I also enabled it and restarted Everything, disabled again. The issue persists. I'll try removing the Ctrl+T shortcut and report back shortly.

Ok, I don't have the option to remove Ctrl+T. I'm using Version 1.4.1.1015 (x64).
