WPF: Open and Close windows

I have two windows with WindowStyleset set a none, MainWindow and window1. I'd like to open window1 and close it when I click on a close button. Window1 is only used for configuration values.

I've tried with: In MainWindow I have a menu

private void MenuItem_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    Window1 secondWindow = new Window1();
    secondWindow.ShowDialog();
}

In Window1 close button code

private void btnQuit_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    this.Close();                
}

When I click on close button, the app is closed. If I change ShowDialog() for Show() the app is closed. How can I do it? I only want to close window1 and stay in MainWindow?

Thank you!.

it's related to which of the Windows that you have is the Main window of the application try to set App.Current.MainWindow to your Main window like this

private void MenuItem_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        App.Current.MainWindow = this;
        Window1 secondWindow = new Window1();
        secondWindow.ShowDialog();
    }
