How can I group multiple windows to pop up together
The problem is Windows treats them as separate, so anytime I have something else full-screen over them.
I have to go select each window to bring it back to the forefront. Is there a way that if I tab to any of these windows, it will bring all of them to the front?

Windows doesn’t natively support grouping separate windows to pop up together—each one is managed individually. Only apps with built-in multi-window support (like tabbed editors or tool suites) can do this. For regular programs, you’d need a third-party tool or custom scripting to force them to move/activate together.

Windows 10/11 groups applications in the taskbar, but it doesn't automatically bring all windows to front.

If you’re into scripting, you could write a small AutoHotkey script that, when activated, brings all your specific windows to the front simultaneously.

Create a dedicated virtual desktop for related windows (Win + Tab > New Desktop). When you switch desktops, all associated windows are brought into context, but this doesn't keep them in sync when switching back.
