I had the same issue. I solved it like below:

First of all be aware that emulator has two different windows that are attached to each other.

  1. Right Click emulator top bar, and set it as always on top
  2. Right Click emulator icon on the dash, and choose "Emulator" this time use shortcut ALT + SPACE to reveal context menu and again choose always on top.

And that's it!

Note : every time you minimizes emulator window, do steps above again.
