Modal Dialog box is shown below the launching screen in windows 10

In one of our windows apps, a dialog box is launched using MessageBox.Show, which is working fine on win 7 and 8. But on Win 10, the popup is shown below the launcher. Any guess how to rectify this?

thanks

Use the MessageBox.Show overload that allows you to specific a parent window: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cked7698(v=vs.110).aspx

If you are using WPF/UWP, you can write something like this:

Application.Current.Dispatcher.Invoke(DispatcherPriority.Normal, 
    () => MessageBox.Show(Application.Current.MainWindow, msg));

An alternative way to hack the same functionality without a specific window is this:

Application.Current.Dispatcher.Invoke(DispatcherPriority.Normal, 
    () => MessageBox.Show(new Form { TopMost = true }, msg);
