[SOLVED] Keeps alt-tabbing by itself

[micbp]

hey everyone
i have a problem with Windows 10 home seemingly doing alt-tab by itself
doesnt take away focus from the active window, but the window just becomes inactive for a split second and then active again
during full-screen watching (youtube/twitch) windows bar gets visible for a second
minimizes some small applications/some applications blink black
in general, the exact same effect if i quickly press alt-tab with no other window to choose

interesting thing is that i did full clean windows re-install (with completely deleting the main SSD partition and creating it again, didnt touch OEM partitions though), but the problem still here
installed only essential programs, like Visual C++, NVidia and HP drivers, all which usually didnt cause any problems for over a year of past using

ps. also have an additional HDD with some documents and files, which i didnt wipe during reinstall
have kaspersky and fully checked the pc with it and with adwcleaner
have no idea what could be causing this after complete clean reinstall

pps. if there is something launching, maybe is there a way to track what process it is, when i catch it by the exact time?

hey man, thanks
im afraid to already say it, but for now it seems that whatever we did, it seem to fixed it(?)
still premature to be sure, but i left that old 2d game (application that was proven to be minimizing because of this thing) for around 3-4 hours, nothing happened

i think i will leave it for the night, to see if it still will be fullscreen in the morning, just to be sure
if not, i will try this program as well, or maybe will leave it together for the night with that 2d game right now actually

time is only way to know if its gone.

i think it is, whew
at least game is fullscreen in the morning, 7 hours after

have no idea what did it
but it seems it was either
SFC /scannow
or Ethernet Realtek Drivers update
(or i also updated and then deleted that 1 weird old 2018 driver, after you said i need to update old ones, which btw i have no idea why i had it even

thank you so much guys, Colif
hopefully i wont be back soon saying it was just a lucky coincedence that game suvived 7 + 3 hours
weird stuff that windows can do, even with smallest seemingly unrelated things, damn

I didn't say to delete old drivers. I never say to delete drivers, replace them or remove them, yes. But just deleting them can cause problems if something assumes they are still there.

[micbp]

sure man
i never said you said to delete them

i removed it, not deleted btw, wrong word
after updating, it became a program visible and removable in the control panel
if it causes some problems i would keep that driver in mind
thanks for being concerned, i will follow through steps in that topic as well

 

[Colif]

no problem, I wasn't concerned really, i had to check back to make sure i hadn't said that. Sometimes when I am tired I say dumb things.

 

[micbp]

well i meant thanks for being concerned about my problem
i guess you are a bit tired
but in any case, thanks for your help

its 4.11pm here, not tired now. I may have been yesterday, is what i mean.
