  1. Fullscreen apps keep going out of focus.


    I have recently been facing an issue where any games or apps that I have open in fullscreen will be tabbed out, and the previously opened tab will show, mimicking the use of Alt+Tab. I have used Windows Focus Logger to attempt to find what was taking the focus away, but no program showed up.

    Programs I have installed that I suspect:

    • Origin
    • Razer Synapse
    • f.lux
    • Rainmeter

    How to automatically dim secondary monitor, when app is fullscreen?

    i have fullscreen movies playing at the same time all the time - but his point was that in order to change the mouse focus, you pretty much have to minimise both, then bring up the app second monitor, do what you wanted to do-then bring up the app on the main monitor.

    multi-monitor doesnt play nice, since there is no way to get the focus off the fullscreen app on the primary monitor, WITHOUT minimising it

    (media remote works well for the movies, however)

    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.

    Fullscreen apps keep going out of focus.

    How to automatically dim secondary monitor, when app is fullscreen?

    What? I have multi-monitor on and it works like two seperate desktops. I can maximise a window on one, the other, both, neither, anything goes. If your game can run in a full screen window you can run two games. One on each screen. I can control the brightness/contrast/color seperatly for each monitor from within CCC. Am I missing something?
