Trouble to gain focus with remote (1 Viewer)

[Jojo10]

Hello Forum

I use Windows 10, MediaPortal 1.13.0, Harmony Remote with profil Microsoft Remote Control 1040, RC6 USB reciever, recognized as "Microsoft eHome...." in Windows.
Everything works fine. Also starting MediaPortal (MP) with the Menu button (seems to be the Home/Green Button) works with MPTray activated.
But if MP is minimized in tray (automatically after start or manually) I'm not able to maximize it again with the remote.
In the remote mapping the tick at the "Home" button "Gain focus" is set. Also if I set "Gain focus" for other actions, its not getting maximized.

In the HID mapping there is Window->Home mapped to the Green Button. So the button also works to come back to Home Screen, when using MP.
If I change this Button to Action->mprestore, I can still start MP with that button (MPTray still works), I'm not coming back to Home screen anymore in MP (so config is really changed), but I also do not get MP maximized from tray.

What else can I try?

Thanks

Hello again

I downgraded to 1.12 and choose Microsoft MCE in configuration for Remote.
Now it works. Start of MP and maximize it from tray without problems.
Bug or feature in 1.13?

Thanks

So you expect MP to maximize when you hit the green button?
It could be that it works when you are not abusing/testing it.
I know Windows requires special capabilities for application to manipulate the UI at will.

I already mentioned that in this other thread:
