    Explorer regularly takes focus


    I have recently built a new PC and I ran Ubuntu just fine but when I use Windows in Windows 10 the explorer opened a second window that took focus and closed after half a second or less with no contents. I upgraded to Windows 11 and now it has been happening less but it still happens and when it does it flashes the bar below my active window and it still kicks me out of fullscreen games/taskbar apears when watching videos or playing fullscreen games.Edit: Also it is annoying using dropdown menues and my device Specs are AMD Ryzen 7 5800X 8-Core Processor 3.80 GHz32,0 GB 31,9 GB

    Explorer regularly takes focus

    How can I remove this virus remnant?

    I was also going to suggest Autoruns.

    Check to make sure it isn't attaching itself to explorer. It should be the 3rd thing listed in Autoruns, the listing for the Shell. It should just be Explorer.exe. If it is anything else, that might be your problem.
