Every few minutes I lose focus of my application, such as when I am playing games, suddenly it switches to the desktop and I have to open it from taskbar again. In some games I just lose focus for a few seconds, and in browsers, I lose focus and have to click the browser again. I really want to find out what is causing this, maybe a process? If so, how do you track it?
Thanks guys!
Thanks guys!

Run MSCONFIG and see what stuff is being loaded at startup
Disable any unecessary stuff

I too had this problem - every 10~30 seconds program deselected - lost focus
Looking for help I found so called many possible solutions... which ALL Failed
Windows Update - turn off
Windows Aero - turn off
Widgets - Turn off
Fire Wall - Replaced with 3rd Party
Virus, Root kit or Similar Malware - Scanned with Many Anti-Rootkit Scanners, Virus Scanners And Anti-Malware programs and tools - All Clean no issues
Etc...
THE Only Program that had Any affect was Gboost a Gaming Utility that closes Many programs and services suitable for improving gaming on older or low spec computers - worked for game minimizing but not suitable for everything else
But in the End It was Wireless network "TPG-Link Wireless..." program that was Stealing the Focus from every Program - Exit Program - Solved
Note Internet connection is NOT Reliant on the TPG-Link program running - It just a manager
CAUSE: TPG-Link Wireless... - Exit program - remove from Start-up - FIXED

It may be the Dell Audio Manager (if you have dell laptob) see http://shr.tn/7lUz
Just kill process by process to investigate: (kill process then see if the focus is lost etc. )

Well Mark, here it is a year and a half and you saved me from pulling all my hair out - thanks.
I just changed my TP-Link router to another brand but left the TP-Link configuration program running since it is/was useful. (For example it quickly shows other wifi's in my neighborhood and what channel they are using.) Since I have done so, my current window started losing its focus. First I noticed it with Firefox. As I would scroll nothing would happen until I clicked the window/webpage to get the focus back. I had to do this continuously. I thought it was a setting with FF. Then as I was searching for a solution, Google lost its focus also! Then, as I was looking at the msconfig window I lost focus there too.
After searching I ran across your brief. Bingo. TP-Link in your notes focused my attention crisply. I disabled it and the loss of focus stopped. Now I will uninstall the utility and re-install it should I switch back to the TP-Link router.
Thanks again Mark for taking the time to reach across space and time into the future to help... me.
