Howdee y'all,

You know when you click an app in the windows taskbar and it says there's another instance of the software already running - is there a way to make Windows 10 just bring the app to the front and show it's window, like the mac dock?

(I don't hold much hope for this ;-)
 
It already does. If the app is running then it switches to that app (and/or desktop) and shows the window. Looks like you are trying to run another instance of the app which is not the default.
 
Depends on the software; some can only run one copy, others like Chrome you can run as many as you want. Right click on the app in the taskbar and select the option you want; Chrome - Open New Window.

Aye seems app specific - eg TrackIR gives the error message - have to use the 2nd hidden small icon to the right of the taskbar to min/maximise the app

bit of a pain
