Curious thing there, I was going to ask if the Show/Hide button was changing.
Obviously it stays on Show, so the program itself thinks the render window is
closed.
I actually have the Creator's Update too, except on the Home Edition not Pro. I
retired every way possible and it just won't happen here for me.... oooooh! Hold
on!

Found out what's going on, well, how it can happen anyway. Just not known if
this is actually a bug.

Look at your Options menu for Render Window and see if you have Keep Above Main
unchecked. Mine was checked, so when I unchecked that I got the same thing as
yours.
