Pyro Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Hello, I don't know if anyone has ever had this problem, but my ET (fullscreen) randomly switches to desktop as if I pressed alt+tab. I would temporarily lose control of ET and an arrow would appear in the centre, (fullscreened ET does not allow me to multi task unless I switched to window). This happens randomly, usually on a 2 minute interval. If anyone has experienced something similar (this is pretty strange), please share a fix.

Heretic121 Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Only time I've had this happen is when something has crashed in the background, or when AVG had just finished installing an update. Next time it happens have a look at your taskbar to see if anything is there that shouldn't be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leader RedBaird Posted March 27, 2013 Leader Share Posted March 27, 2013 I have had background programs pop up mouse pointers and little windows over ET, but never take the focus. I wonder if it is a background program that is taking the focus, but shutting its own display off before the OS has time to switch over and you end up with a mystery. Heretic121 finished typing his answer before mine! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyro Posted March 27, 2013 Author Share Posted March 27, 2013 I think I understand, I'll keep an eye out for program working in the background. Thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pyro Posted March 28, 2013 Author Share Posted March 28, 2013 I minimized programs running silently in the background and it seems to help with the randomness. It still happens once in a while but I can deal with it. Thanks all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
