Since a couple of days ago I've been having issues with my computer where it keeps losing window focus every so often. First thing I did to try and identify the problem was open the task manager to see what processes were running and I noticed that every time I would lose window focus, a process called "Com Surrogate" would appear, and then disappear shortly after. Opening the file path showed that it was a file called "dllhost.exe".
I've tried looking around for some way to fix it but with no success.
I later ran a focus logger program and noticed that it wasn't actually dllhost.exe stealing my window focus constantly, but instead it was a file called WerFault.exe.
This file apparently has something to do with windows error reporting, so I tried disabling that, but to no avail.
I've tried some other options as well such as scanning for viruses and checking an event log, however I can't personally understand what's going on in the event log. All I know is every time I lose window focus events like these pop up for the dllhost.exe process:
I've yet to figure out what events show up for WerFault however, and I don't even know if it's relevant.
Feel free to ask me if you need any more information.
Thanks.
