### What's Wrong?

[BUG] Claude Desktop (Windows) window stays always on top of other apps

Environment

OS: Windows (win32, x64)
Claude Desktop app version: 1.32885.1
Electron version: 42.9.2

Description The main Claude Desktop window stays pinned above all other application windows on Windows — it doesn't behave like a normal window and won't drop behind other apps when they're focused. This started after a recent app update; I did not have this issue on the previous version I was running.

There's a related closed/existing report for the same symptom on macOS (#66516), but this is happening on Windows, and I don't see a Windows-specific report filed yet.

Expected behavior The Claude Desktop window should behave like a standard Windows window — i.e., not float above other applications once another app is focused.

Steps to reproduce

Open Claude Desktop on Windows.
Switch focus to any other application window.
Observe that the Claude Desktop window remains visible on top of the other window instead of moving behind it.

Workaround found Minimizing the Claude Desktop window is the only workaround; there's no in-app setting to disable "always on top" behavior.

Additional notes

Fully quitting the app via the system tray icon and relaunching does not resolve it.
Already on the latest available app version (1.32885.1), so this is not fixed by updating.

The report names no repository files, tests, or entry points; start by reproducing the behavior on Windows with Claude Desktop 1.32885.1 and Electron 42.9.2, then trace the desktop window-management code. Done means the main window drops behind another focused application after switching focus, without requiring minimization.
