Attachments not showing on top of other windows

Up until recently when I clicked on an attached image, whether in a message I'm composing or one I've received, the image would open and immediately be visible on the screen. For some reason now when I click on the image (.jpg, .png, etc) it opens to the taskbar but I have to click on it to see it.

Does anyone know what might be causing this? For whatever reason it doesn't happen with other files types, such as .xls or .pdf. Those still open on top of TB. Only images that open with Photos (I'm using Windows 10) stay behind TB. I'm not seeing anything in the settings (either for Photos or TB) that would determine which window shows on top. Anyway suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

re : For some reason now when I click on the image (.jpg, .png, etc) it opens to the taskbar

I believe Thunderbird just points to the app you have selected to use. Photos is obviously the chosen app and the image is opened. So in that respect Thunderbird has called upon the app and it works.

But it sounds like you have a setting which opens them in a minimised state. This maybe something to do with 'Photos' app.

If you have images in a standard folder on desktop and you click to open them, do they also open minimised ?

Thanks so much for your reply. As far as I can tell if I open an image in any other program it opens on top of everything else. It's only within TB that images open minimized. I looked all through the settings for Windows and for Photos specifically but I can't find anything related to this issue.

Since other files types do open full screen I'm sure you're right that it's something specific about Photos, either within TB settings or Windows. The fact that it just recently started happening makes me think something in the registry may have gotten corrupted. Anyway if you have any suggestions please let me know. Thanks again!
