getting off my windows dependency

It's a nuisance if an application decides, on its own logic, to force
you into multiple screens/instances. It's a feature if the user wants
and asks for it.
Agreed but this is not an adaptive problem at this point but a usability
problem.  An adaptive problem is a problem that a screen reader can not
handle a usability problem is when a program does not work the way a
user wants it to.  If the program does not provide a choice then yep it
is a usability problem.  Solved very simply.  Use another program if you
do not like the features of the other program.
