|
|
Hi all,
I have a very annoying issue, I keep getting Alt -Tabbed out of any game i play whether this be Zdaemon or anything. I have been trying to find the source of this for weeks... I at first thought it was Firefox then maybe Skype but it is neither of those and i can't find the root of the problem .
I was wondering if anybody new of any monitoring software or windows tools that could tell me which program/service tabbed me out. I am sure there must be a way to do this but unfortunately google is not my friend at the moment.
I will add some links to screenshot to see if anyone can spot anything obvious in my processes/services.

In the picture I have a few games running and a firewall + other applications, dropbox e.t.c. I have tried closing all of these to no avail.
Any suggestions please?
Any help would be greatly appreciated |

alt-tab (and shift-alt-tab) is a handy Windows feature to switch applications. It is a feature of the operating system and not of an application (like ZD, Skype, ...). Windows calls it "cool switch".
It is possible to switch off "cool switch" if it is useful for you.
You have to go to Registry "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ Control Panel\ Desktop". "CoolSwitch" enables or disables (1/0) it.
Be careful with changes in Registry!
Maybe a reboot or log off/on is required.
