Description

### Preflight Checklist

- [x] I have searched [existing issues](https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20state%3Aopen%20label%3Abug) and this hasn't been reported yet
- [x] This is a single bug report (please file separate reports for different bugs)
- [x] I am using the latest version of Claude Code

### What's Wrong?

The Claude application is always on top. Using Power Toys to disable the function does not work. This is extremely annoying and should not be in the app. If it is, then make a setting for it with a simple boolean to actually turn it off and on

### What Should Happen?

Fix the code

### Error Messages/Logs

```shell

```

### Steps to Reproduce

Simple, just start Claude and let it run...

### Claude Model

Opus

### Is this a regression?

No, this never worked

### Last Working Version

_No response_

### Claude Code Version

No Version in the application

### Platform

Anthropic API

### Operating System

Windows

### Terminal/Shell

Windows Terminal

### Additional Information

_No response_

Research direction

No source files or tests are named. First reproduce the issue by starting the Claude application on Windows with Windows Terminal, then identify where its always-on-top behavior is configured; done means the window no longer stays above others, or a working boolean setting controls that behavior.
