Hi, 

I have been nagged by this issue for months. Every time I opened MS Edge all other application windows became unclickable. 
The usual behaviours like clicking on the top bar of a windows to activate it and make it go on the top of the stack did not work anymore. 
The only way I could get focus on a different application window was by using the taskbar. Clicking on the application icon, the window obtained focus and I could click on it. It was very annoying to say the least. Alt-tab did not work as well.
It didn’t take long to understand that this behaviour presented itself constantly only after opening MS Edge and surprisingly it did not go away by closing it and also MS Edge itself was affected by the same issue. 
It looked like an invisible layer was created on the screen which made everything else than the current focused window unclickable. 

I started looking in the MS Edge settings to see if there was anything that sounded as a possible culprit and when I have seen Split Screen I thought “maybe this one”. 
I deactivated it and bingo, the issue went away.  

I haven’t been able to find other reports for similar issues. Not sure whether this is something affecting only me, but that would be odd.
Let me know if I can be of any help to investigate this issue further. 

Running Windows 11, MS Edge Version 126.0.2592.68 (Official build) (64-bit)
