Description
In older Arduino IDE's 1.6.5 and older, clicking on an .ino file from the Windows 10 File Explorer would open the Arduino IDE on TOP of the File Explorer. Using the newer 1.8.x versions of Arduino causes the same action to open the IDE UNDER the File Explorer which is somewhat annoying.
Here's hoping this was an unintentional thing and that can be corrected.
Here is the Arduino forum topic on this:

Research direction
Start by reproducing the behavior when opening an .ino file from Windows 10 File Explorer in Arduino IDE 1.8.x, then compare it with IDE 1.6.5. Trace the IDE launch and window-focus entry point; done means the IDE opens on top of File Explorer, as described in the issue and linked forum topic.
