Visual Studio always on top when debugging

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 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"
