When the Message Log is automatically opened, it is simply shown but not activated and that is all managed by the operating system. Sierra Chart does not expressly change, the z-order of that window. It is all operating system managed.

You might want to enable this option:
General Settings Window: Never Automatically Open Message Log or Trade Service Log (Global Settings >> General Settings >> Log >> Log)

Sierra Chart has no knowledge of or any control over any "multiple desktops".
