    Active window changes unexpectedly when more than one window open.


    Whenever I have more than one window open the active window seems to change unexpectedly without me even clicking in the window to activate it. For example I'll have one half of my screen streaming a Netflix video and the other half will be another window at some random website. I'll be typing something into the random website and all of a sudden the active window changes to the Netflix window and will affect the stream (pause/back/whatever depending on what I was typing in the other window). How can I stop the active window from changing unexpectedly?

    :)

  2. Having more than one window open at a time

    I had a wonderful lady help with the problem on microsoft chat,, she fixed the problem. I was still having some issues so I went back to Windows 7 for the time being. I will try reloading ten in a few months and see if things have improved. I understand
    that lots of people have had no problems and I didn't for the first few days and then they started.

    Thank you for your concern,, It is very much apprciated

  3. Having more than one window open at a time

    I am having problems opening more than one window at a time. I need to close the window to open another, also every time I bring firefox up it asks me if I want this to be my default, I unclick the box and next time I bring it up I get asked again.
