问题
When I start debugging the project we are currently working on, the program window is not given proper focus in windows but is stacked behind the Visual Studio window. I don't think this problem occurs on any of my team members computers, so it looks like it's a problem on my system.
Is there a setting in VS2008 for always on top or something like that? I can't seem to find one...
Any idea what could be causing this? Visual Studio? The program code?
I know this is sort of a vague issue but I'll concider adding more detail if no one recognizes the problem.
EDIT: I am using Visual Studio 2008 with ReSharper, GhostDoc and Resource Refactoring Tool.
EDIT: I've looked through every single option I can find in VS and I can not find anything that would explain this behaviour.
EDIT: I am running this on a dual monitor setup Lenovo Thinkpad Tseries laptop. The monitors are connected through a docking station. Monitor 1 is connected with a DVI cable and monitor 2 is connected vith a VGA cable.

I had the same problem that Visual Studio 2010 was running Always-On-Top.
I don't know whether this always works. Anecdotally, I closed Visual Studio 2010. Then I re-ran as administrator. Visual Studio then ran normally, not Always-On-Top. I closed Visual Studio. I ran Visual Studio normally (not as administrator). Visual Studio did not run as Always-On-Top.
Note: by "ran as administrator", I mean that I right clicked; on popup menu clicked on properties; on dialog clicked on "Advanced"; checked "run as administrator".
I did not try running as administrator by right clicking and then clicking "run as administrator" on the popup menu.
I only did this one time because once I got Visual Studio running normally, I did not know how to make it run Always-On-Top again.

You can toggle “Always on top” option for the Active window using:
"Windows Key + A"

This is just a theory, but after I recently upgraded to ReSharper 4.5 this problem looks to be resolved. It could be a coincidence but I'm inclined to think it isn't... :P

I had this problem with Visual Studio 2013 running on windows 10, I'm not 100% sure when or why it started, but it may have been after installing some Windows updates.
I resolved it using a minor variation of the method described by Indinfer:
- Close Visual Studio
- Right click on the Visual Studio shortcut, Run As Administrator. The problem is no longer there.
- Stop and start Visual Studio as normal. The problem is no longer there.

I got this when I have AppVerifier set for vstest.discoveryengine.x86.exe

Simplest solution is to reset your custom settings on Visual studio.
- Goto -> Tools -> import and export settings -> select "Reset all settings"
- Close all instances of Visual Studio, re-open.
This is safest solution but you will loose all customization you did, e.g. adding line numbers for code files, themeing, etc.
It worked for my Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate.

Very Simple. Just Toggle Maximise Button on Visual Studio 2017

No solution, but maybe an observation: I got this from time to time too with WinForms applications debugging on a machine with dual monitor enabled. Thinking about it, I never tried turning one monitor off and at my new work we do not create WinForms applications. With Webforms starting a new browser I never had this problem (yet).
