How do I get the error dialog to stay and the output to not show?

Hi. I've used VS2017 for a long time and it works just the way I'd like. I recently migrated to VS2019 so as to use .NET 5. I have it generally working good for me now (though it's surprisingly laggy compared to 2017) but one things drives me NUTS. When I hit CTRL-SHIFT-B to build, in 2017 if there were problems the error window would show to let me know and as soon as I clicked the code window in the background, it goes away. I never saw an output window.

In 2019, I see output but no error dialog. It used to flash, but won't even flash now. I have to go down and hit error list in the bottom of the screen to see it.

Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amPYm6pfguI

How can I make VS2019 act like it does in VS2017?

Thanks a lot!

Sounds like the same issue as this one. Add your vote, comment on it, and link to your video if you think it's the same issue.

Sounds like it may be. Actually their talk of docking made me realize what I should just do is drag it out of VS onto my other LCD where I have the properties and solution explorer and just keep it there open always. Solves the problem, even if it doesn't fix the problem.

Also that article said how to stop the output window, so double cool :) Thanks a lot!
