    Windows tasks keep losing focus


    Hello,Whenever I am using a program, it will lose focus and then immediately switch back, causing any inputs that were being held to release particularly a problem for gamesI've tried every fix and nothing seems to work. Focus loggers show it just "re-focusing", or switching between the program and file explorer depending on the focus loggerI am using windows 10 and have run a full virus scan, with nothing showing up.Please help, I can't take this much longer

    :)

  2. 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?

    Active Window Loses Focus

    Without any mouse action or keyboard action, the currently active window loses focus to another program. This happens about once a day. The newly active window is always the same program. Prior to the last few weeks, I've had no problems with this stealing focus program. I've made no changes to this program since last year!
    The program that loses focus is frequently, but not always, Google Chrome.
    The program the gets focus is always Impact Software Einstime.
    Google Chrome "is up to date" Version 75.0.3770.142 (Official Build) (64-bit)
    Einstime 4.7.0000
    Windows 10.0.17763
    Dell Studio XPS 435T/9000

    Thanks!

    Windows tasks keep losing focus

    No restart button in task manager

    another easy way to kill tasks, download and install Winaero Tweaker(free) and theres a setting to add a Kill non responding tasks using the desktop right click menu. When you place your cursor on the desktop anywhere and right click the option is at the top of the list, Very handy and you dont have to go through all those steps and well Winaero Tweaker has alot of cool Windows tweaks. Just posting a different suggestion, Im sure your ok with what was suggested here.
