    Randomly cannot type in to programs until alt tab and back


    Hi,
    Having a problem. What seems random, although I not it does not seem to happen mid sentence, is that I try to type, for example in an address bar, or FB chat, or any other place (I think), and no text appears, I can change the cursors active field, but still no text. If I switch programs (alt tab) and back again, I can once again type. This can happen from ~ once a week to many times a day.
    Any ideas and suggestions welcomed.
    Thank you.

    :)

    Windows 10 ALT+Tabbing itself while playing games.

    While playing games on Windows 10, it will randomly alt tab. This is very frustrating when I'm in the middle of a firefight and the game disappears.

    I've already done full virus/malware scans.

    Also, in some game the taskbar will randomly show up and won't go away unless I alt tab, then tab back in.

    Any help is much appreciated.
