    My taskbar is randomy stealing focus from things


    It's really annoying, like, i'll be watching a youtube video fullscreen and the tasbkar will suddenly show up and a few seconds later it disappears then reappears, also when typing things into google or when even making this post it randomly stops letting me type till i reclick the box. Also when using any full screen application it'll essentially alt-tab me out of it, basically ruining the possibility for me to play any games is there a way to fix this? Considering resetting my laptop but thats annoying so wondering if there's any fixes first, thanks.

    Windows Updater Steals Focus

    Anothing thing to try is going into "Services.msc" and finding "Windows update" service then setting it to off. See if it continues to turn on and steal focus after that

    stealing focus while typing

    Thanks for replying. That's not my problem though. I hate the touchpad altogether so I use a real mouse and have the touch pad disabled. No, the issue is literally background things stealing focus. any ideas for that?
