  1. Focus Assist keeps crashing my older game. Is there no way to tunrn it off?


    I've turned all it's settings to off in "Focus Settings", and clicking the tray icon just turns from "OFF" to "The Moon" symbol by itself. Then it does the notification sound in the middle of my game and my game crashes!


    Games are 95% of my need for windows. I would probably start my computer once every three months if not for my games! I doubt I would ever upgrade my PC again if not for my games.

    Focus Assistant on 1903


    Greetings.

    Can anyone help me figure out how the Focus assistant in Windows 10 build 1903 works exactly? Because right now I have it to"off" in the Setting menu, but everytime I do stuff it turns itself "on" by its own and keeps reminding me that "notifications will remain silent in the action center while you're in fullscreen mode". Here's how it behaves to me at the moment:

    • Desktop only - Alarm Mode On (sleep symbol)
    • Opening Edge - Focus Assistant Off
    • Opening Settings - Focus Assistant Off
    • Opening Mail - Focus Asistant Off

    Everytime I close and open edge, system menu, mail, calender etc the notification center pops up this message. The way it worked before (on 1809) was that when I played games in fullscreen mode the sleep symbol on the action center became active, but everywhere else it was turned off. Now it seems to think that my desktop is in fullscreen mode? I don't understand how this works exactly. I can open and minimize Edge constantly and the sleep symbol in the bottom right corner will appear and disappear everytime.
