  1. Current window is being deselected/becoming inactive


    I have been having a problem with whatever current window I'm in randomly becoming inactive and I have to click it again to begin using it again. After the last time it happened about 10 minutes ago I began doing some research and couldn't find anything specific to what I was dealing it until someone mentioned Microsoft Edge. I uninstalled Microsoft Edge can't remember the reason why at the moment and when my window went inactive I checked event viewer to see is there was anything and I saw 22 Error events with this exact text in the event:General:Unable to start a DCOM

    :)

    Window deselects when moved too quickly in Windows 10

    All of a sudden in Windows 10 if I move windows around too quickly on my desktop they will randomly deselect. I noticed this when I was moving files around to format a hard drive. Anyone else have this problem? It does not seem to matter if it is a windows explorer window or a program window.

    Thanks
