I recently reinstalled Windows 10 and am having an issue. My game unfocuses and basically ALT+TAB's out of the window. I downloaded Windows Focus Logger and conhost.exe seems to be what appears in the logger. However, I closed Windows Console Host and it still happens, but it's just not logged anymore.

I ran Malwarebytes and nothing out of the ordinary is detected. Where should I start?

conhost is what command prompt runs in. Maybe instead of closing it you should have logged what was accessing cmd.exe as something clearly running it

if you can figure out what is running it, you can fix/stop it.
Hey, thanks for the reply! Is there anything I can search specifically to see what's happening? Every now and then, I realize a CMD prompt is opening for a split moment and closing and I'm guessing that's what was crashing my game. It's not long enough to see what is happening at all.

Filtered "conhost.exe" and this is what came up.
