Problem on open 2nd pp file

[Antony Lai]

When I double click a pp file in file explorer, the file opened and
PowerPoint becomes active(the top-most window), that is perfect. However,
when I switch back to file explorer and double click another pp file,
PowerPoint can open the second file in background but can not become the
active window, the file explorer is still active.

Can any expert give me some advice on this??
Thanks a lot!!

That is the way PowerPoint is designed. You can only have one session of
PowerPoint open at any time. You can open multiple presentations in that
session.
