PC still loosed focus
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.

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.
