  1. Online Video loses focus when entering fullscreen


    Hi thereI recently built a new PC and upgraded to Windows 11 and since have been having this issue.Whenever I fullscreen a video specifically YouTube I am unable to use the arrow keys for adjusting volume unless I click on the video again.I usually use Firefox as my primary browser but the same thing happens in Edge and Chrome also.I have all the same programs installed as I did on my old PC excluding different drivers for obvious reasons.This happens regardless of whether I use F to enter fullscreen or double click the video.If you guys need any info, just ask.Any help would be appreciated.Th

    :)

    How do you make the taskbar show on top of a fullscreen program when it loses focus

    I have searched for days now on how you are supposed to make the taskbar render on top of a fullscreen application when it loses focus and I have found absolutely nothing.

    Example on how i used to do it:

    My main monitor would be running a borderless windowed program and if I need to access the taskbar I'd just need to click somewhere on my secondary monitor so that the fullscreen program lose focus and the taskbar shows up.

    This is not the case currently on my W10 install as it seems the only way to bring up the taskbar is to press the windows key on my keyboard.....

    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.

    Windows loses focus every 3-5 seconds

    This focus issue is making it nearly impossible to type anything continually. Windows loses focus every 3-5 seconds, pausing and not typing what I've typed. I can't live with this- any suggestions?
