Software opens as a pop-under

Running into this on Windows 10 and Server 2012 R2.

I'm sure it's simple but it's eluding me.

Say I press the calculator button my keyboard. The calc program opens, but only as an icon on the taskbar.

In my RDP sessions, I open an Excel link within a Word document, and the Excel icon in the taskbar is there, but I have to manual click on the taskbar for the spreadsheet to show.

How do I change the default to be when a new program opens, to bring it all the way forward?
