Many thanks, bta489. This worked - I disabled "Keep MediaPortal always on top".

I set up my monitor as primary display and TV as extended.

2 issues on Win10 64-bit:

1) After I launch Mediaportal 1 on my TV (extended display) Windows Explorer crashes and start menu is gone.
I can manually open the Explorer and then restart it - this brings back the start menu. Explorer crashes every time I open Mediaportal 1

2) The remote support is only partial. When I'm typing this post I can pause, start and stop media in Mediaportal 1 using my HP remote. But I can't use "selection arrows" used by Mediaportal UI e.g. menus and search/skip. Pressing selection arrow results in action on the monitor/primary screen - in case of this forum opened in Chrome, cursor control (up, down, left, right). To be able to fully control MediaPortal 1 using the remote I need to go to the extended display(TV) with the app opened and click anywhere - I think this brings back the app from background and allows full remote support.

Did you experience the same issues in your old set up before you switched to dedicated HTPC?
