Windows are losing focus due to Nvidia.

I love the Shadowplay for game recording, it's the best I have used so far. The problem is Nvidia has the worst support I have seen to date.

Few other people have had this and haven't been able to find any fixes other than clean install/rollback drivers which I have done.



Nvstreamsvc.exe (streaming aspect, I would assume only one should be running) will have 2-3 instances running and a third or second one open and close constantly, which appears to steal window focus and prevent me from even typing on websites, let alone record gameplay.

After I kill one processes it will close all of them and stop stealing focus. I did a clean install and went back to my old driver version, 337.88. Could have sworn I hit the 340.43 one but alright. Either way this is still occurring after I updated a few days ago, I believe this is a Geforce Experience process and unfortunately can not seem to find any older versions that worked correctly. This wouldn't be so bad if I didn't need to get Shadowplay

Changed it so it can't steal focus, it throws off one of these errors every 5 seconds *exactly*.
