Windows 10: Trying to prevent a specific program from seeing the KB/M at all. Only the controller

Hey guys,

I'm trying to make it so a friend can play a game on my TV using a controller, while I browse the internet on the other monitor

you'd THINK this would be easy, but it's not

I made some progress by using Actual Window Manager to prevent the game from pausing on focus lost. (x)

My next problem is that the program still sees input from the KB/M which interferes with gameplay from the controller

Any ideas to prevent a specific program from seeing specific input?

Programs Missing From Control Panel List

I was able to get rid of XNVIEW by downloading it and using it's own uninstaller.
Have tried method suggested by Pyramid 10 with photoscape without success.
Can't figure out how to do what is asked.

Your next suggestion?

 

Create an association in the Default Programs Control Panel?

1. In the Control Panel Select : Associate a file type or protocol with a specific program.
2. Wait for it to populate.
3. Highlight the particular File or Protocol.
4. Select : Change Program Tab.
5. A Window opens in which one can select the Program to open it with.
6. Initially it shows the Default Recommended Program it opens with.
7. Next to Other Programs you will see a Small Black Down Arrow.
8. Click on the small black down arrow to see what other Programs are available to try to open it with.
9. If you see the one that you wish to open it with select it.
10. If you do not see it you may have to use the Browse Tab and find the Program you wish to open it with.

( NOTE ) : In that window at the bottom right hand side you will see a small box with a check mark in it what states : Always use the selected program to open this kind of file.

I would suggest to temporally remove the check mark whilst testing the File to make sure it opens in the Program that you wish it to open with.

If it works then go back and re-check that box.

Possibly some one else could explain this a little better and in short form.
