Solution 1

To open the expected form first.Go to project menu and then select windows application 1 properties (or the name of the application) there will be startup form option with dropdown list. In that, select what form you have to run eg:form2

I think this solves your problem.

Solution 2

you should try to set true of TopMost property after the window desired to be TopMost is displayed by Show() method.
Form.TopMost Property [^] which is used to Gets or sets a value indicating whether the form should be displayed as a topmost form.

Solution 3

You may try this one.

Form2 objForm = new Form2();
objForm.Activate();
objForm.Visible = true;

This is in C# form. You may use code converter to see the result...
