Windows 10 minimizing and de-selecting

[Torell]

Ok, I've got an issue here.
When games are running, it minimizes to the taskbar at random times.
Anything from every 15 mins to ever 45 mins (aprox)
It doesn't matter what game it is.

Also, when I use programs like Microsoft Word, it de-selects the program, so I have to click back inside the program before I can continue.

I've shut down everything I've got running in the background, and the problem still persists.
I have no idea why this is happening.
The games have been uninstalled and re-installed, I've updated all the drivers and I can't find any bug reports.

Hope you guys can help me out.

Hi, download & try this and see if you can figure out what is stealing focus: http://www.adminscope.com/downloads/window-focus-logger/

If you can't figure it out, I would recommend trying a [Clean Boot]. A clean boot will temporarily disable all 3rd party software, leaving only Microsoft software running. Important: Read the directions carefully on how to perform the clean boot. Be sure the Hide all Microsoft services box is checked. Do not disable the Microsoft Services. There are basically 2 steps, disable the start up programs and disable 3rd party services (not the Microsoft services), then reboot and see if the focus is still being stolen from your active window.

If the problem disappears while in clean boot, then it's one of the programs that you disabled for the clean boot that was causing the problem. Re-enable the programs/services a few at a time with each reboot until you discover which program is causing the problem.

HOLY F#*K!!!!!!
I can't believe this.
Found the problem. For some reason, "Hey Cortana" had been activated and that kept interrupting whatever I was doing.
After deactivating it, not a problem anymore.
Seriously, something so simple.
Didn't even think about it, because I've never used it and deactivated it at first boot up.
