    Focused application window not updating when being used


    Lately I have been having an issue where applications eg: spotify, discord, chrome will not update the window after doing actions scrolling, typing, clicking, etc. The action is registered by the app, however the window will not update scroll down, show words, open menu until I hit the windows button on my keyboard or wait a few seconds. This tends to happen more when I am playing games.My best guess is that this is a ram issue but would like to consult the community before I mess around with the ram to much or buy new sticks. Would anyone happen to have any experience with this issue or

    :)

    To better assist you with the rear camera focusing issue, please answer the following questions:

    • Which Windows version is currently running on your phone?

    • What troubleshooting steps have you tried so far?

    Regards.

    Would have been nice if they indicated which applications were actually improved as opposed to just hard or soft blocked.

    Focused application window not updating when being used

    Windows Updated(16299.309).KB4088776 Restart is required to complete.

    Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

    Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond Focused application window not updating when being used :) Best regards.


    And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.
