'Remote Desktop' always steals initial focus #23

Weird issue here. When I have a 'Remote Desktop' session open, trying to alt+tab to the next app or window always goes to the same current window. I'll try to explain:

I already was in Total Commander as the current app/window. I pressed Alt+Tab to switch to Chrome, but instead of going to the 'next' app/window, it stayed in Total Commander. I can see the animation for like half a second where the focus switches from the Remote Desktop icon (all to the left) to the Total Commander one, despite being already in Total Commander.
It seems like Remote Desktop is stealing the focus somehow when doing the Alt+Tab.

Does AltAppSwitcher run as administrator? If not, this might help.
I'll try to reproduce this issue (no success with an empty remote desktop, I guess I need to run a proper session)

My user is an Administrator, so I guess it does.

Now in 0.24 the 'Remote Desktop' instance doesn't appear at all, either in App or Window mode. But that's better than before, to be honest.

I would prioritize putting the App/Window name under each icon over this.

Indeed the last releases ignores "overlays" windows and I suspected this was one, but did not find the time to test Windows Remote session for now. But I was able to test a similar case with Parsec and it does behave correctly since the update.
Thanks for the feedback!
