I can only describe parentage of Excel's Windows as ambigous!

Assuming there is an active workbook, instead of ActiveWindow try -

Activeworkbook.windows(1)

which should return its expected parent.

Curiosity, why do you need to know its parent.

FWIW
b = ActiveWindow Is Nothing
is one way to determine there are no visible workbooks

What is the parent of ActiveWindow?

It's not available as ThisWorkbook.ActiveWindow or
Application.ActiveWindow .

Thanks.
