Windows 10: Apps stealing focus.

So I'm playing multiple games right. For example I'm playing path of exile 2 or like kingdom two crowns or even stardew valley. My games are full screen borderless usually but I've experimented with full screen non borderless and this issue still happens. Every time I click multiple times with my mouse the game loses and regains focus very quickly. It's like a flicker. I've done multiple things to try and fix it within game settings windows settings I don't remember exactly all I've tried because this has been happening for multiple months now.

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.

 

mstsc.exe stealing focus

Hello.

I have a problem on my Windows 11 PC. Whenever I do anything on my PC, a program called mstsc.exe steals focus of my opened window. This happens every few minutes. The program is located in C:\Windows\System32\mstsc.exe. I used this program: https://www.happydroid.com/focus to discover that this process is causing the issue and steals my foreground window focus.

How can I fix it?

Thank you.

 

Disabling Apps/Programs from Focus Stealing

This is a general inquiry about how to disable specific programs' ability to steal focus/move their windows to front in windows 10. There used to be a registry you could edit to disable this I believe, but was removed for Windows 7(?) and apparently editing it (I've read [1]) doesn't affect anything.

Is there some way to edit a program's permission's or the registry or another setting to prevent either all programs or select programs from stealing focus etc? (This is for programs that don't give you the option of turning it off in their settings.)

Thanks for the help
