PC still loosed focus

<< < (2/8) > >>

The old timer:
I could not get into safe mode by using F8.  I'm on Windows 7 Pro. So I told msconfig to reboot into safe mode. Once started I opened a few programs & even though its hard to see whats open because everything is enlarged it would appear that both Notepad & Notepad ++ still loose focus. 

I think that even in regular mode some other programs also loose focus.

Thanks in advance

The old timer:
Other windows definitely loose focus.  I had to download & install a few updates for some programs.  I downloaded the updates & it says it's ready to install nut before I  get the cursor there to install update its, gone & I have to shut down all open windows to find it.

Shane:
OK good, so it isnt notepad but any window that is open. It is also happening in safe mode, which means it is most likely not a program or driver causing it.

By any chance do you have another keyboard and mouse you can swap with and test with for me? Reason why is I want to cover all the bases, and I have seen where the keyboard had a problematic key sticking on it that was causing a lot of odd behavior. So the best way to rule out the keyboard and mouse is by simply user a different one. :wink:

The old timer:
The Keyboard that I have been using recently is a small Logitech K220 which connect to PC via a dongle.  I also have 2 other older Logitech models which connect through USB models Y-raj56a & LX 710.   I thought that they were both  just plug & play but when I plugged one in it updated its software.

I have put new batteries in both & pressed the connect button after Windows made its connect sound & said that drivers were installed.  Neither of these keyboard/mouse combos are working at all even though I had used them as recently as yesterday on another PC that used Windows 8.

So another mystery.

Have you tried the sfc /scannow yet ?
