The background geoprocessing concept can be useful in some cases.  In ArcPro, all geoprocessing is background.  I can get where ESRI is going with this.  But, in most cases, when I'm running some processing, I'm waiting for that to finish before I move on to something else.  I like to see the details of what is happening as well so I almost always hit the View Details button after starting a tool.  It would be nice if there were an option to show this by default.  Then, in the few cases were I do want to hide this while I do something else, I can just close it and let it continue to run in the background.  Although even than, I would likely just want to move the details off to the side so I can keep an eye on it while doing other things.

Is there any option for this that I just haven't noticed?  If not, it would be a nice feature.

@Jeff-Reinhart only a subset of options are available in the Pro admin settings system, not including the option referenced above. Yes a new ArcGIS Pro Idea would be suitable in this case, and we should be able to prioritize it in the near term with your justification of how your organization will benefit from applying (and potentially locking) that option at the admin level (across many analyst machines for the org). Some of the options are quite logical why an admin would want to set it, but opening the messages seems like something more suitable to the individual user's preference. But I look forward to discussing that further in the new Idea 🙂
