  1. Apps losing focus randomly


    I just got a new gaming PC which has Windows 11. At first, I thought it was because of certain hotkeys I forgot to change. But recently this has been happening very often and I've searched online many times for a fix with no luck. I'm getting very frustrated, this whole thing is taking a toll on my sanity. I've turned off focus assist in settings. My graphics card is updated. I don't have any malware. I disabled game mode. I even tried disabling the Windows error reporting service. But no matter what I do, it keeps happening repeatedly. I did check Windows for updates as well. But still, it ha

    Windows lose focus

    When my Cingular 8125 is connected to my Vista Ultimate 64-bit machine, opened windows randomly lose focus. Whatever application is active will suddenly go inactive, as if I [alt][tab]'d off it. The issue immediately clears up as soon as I disconnect the
    pocket pc. The issue is annoying as I will be typing in some text control, then the app loses focus, then it regains focus and all text in the field automatically highlights and is overwritten with the next keystroke. Any ideas?



    BTW, the version of Window Mobile Device Center is current.

  3. stealing focus while typing

    Hi Valerie,

    Losing focus on an app can happen if your touchpad is on high sensitivity. There are instances that we are engrossed in our writing to the point that we don't notice that our hands are near the touchpad and if it's set to high sensitivity, it can click on
    another app. To isolate the issue, we suggest that you try to change the sensitivity settings of your laptop to medium or low sensitivity and see if this issue still persists. To do so, please follow these steps:

    • In Cortana search, type Settings.
    • Click on Devices.
    • Click Touchpad.
    • Change the sensitivity level.

    Feel free to post back should you need further assistance.

    Apps losing focus randomly

    Focus started randomly shuttingdown

    Hello,

    Phone: Samsung Focus
    OS: No Do

    My wife has the Samsung Focus. She's been happy (as an iPhone convert) until the last 3 weeks or so. Her phone started freezing and randomly shutting down. There seems to be no pattern, either. She didn't change anything on the phone...no card added, no
    new software or apps, nothing. We have noticed the phone is pretty hot when this happens. I've pulled the battery for up to an hour before putting it back together and it seems to work for a while, then starts happening again.

    I recently did a hard reset, went through all of the steps of setting it up and the problem is still there. Any ideas? Thoughts? Suggestions?

    I'm thinking its a hardware issue and we'll likely end up at the AT&T store, but seeing as how I HATE going into that store, I'd like to explore all of my options first.

    Thank you

    Brian
