  1. Large program is stealing focus while opening in Windows 10


    This problem is recurring in several Windows 10 updates, and so far no one has been able to solve it. When I open large apps e.g. Adobe Photoshop, Roblox Studio, etc., I have to wait for the app to load completely before I can switch focus to another app. In the example below, while my Windows 10 is loading Roblox Studio, I want to continue editing my text inside Sublime Text:However, as you can see, Roblox Studio is stealing the focus many times. As I said, the same goes for any other large, slow-loading program.There are some suggestions on the net saying that I should change the registry

    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: 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 Large program is stealing focus while opening in Windows 10 :)
