Dynamics AX 2012: Forms on opening hide behind in the back

In Dynamics AX 2012, when you open the forms,  you might see some of them open behind the other forms. User may get the impression that the form was never opened.  This happens if the form opened slowly;  a cold start, uniqueness of the data including large number of records or complexity of the form may cause the form to load up slowly.  The form hide behind the other form because of Windows’s ‘ForegroundLockTimeout’.

Doing the following changes to your system could fix this issue.  Since it involves changing a registry key in your system, take necessary precautions.
