UniGetUI Version

2026.2.7

Windows version, edition, and architecture

Windows 11 Home, 10.0.26200 Build 26200, x64

Describe your issue

Since few weeks/months I noticed the following:
Every time I start updates and minimize the window... as soon as an installation is done the screen forces itself in foreground.

Disclaimer: since English is not my native English, the issue might exist already - I'm fine with closing this then.
If this is intended behaviour I want a toggle to disable it - the updates should run in background, I have other stuff to do than watching/baby sitting them (then I could do them manually as well, you know).

Steps to reproduce the issue

1. start winget update process (probl. also any other)
2. minimize window
3. wait until it's done
