    full screen application minimizes and windows loses focus


    Hi!, i have a very annoying problem that's driving me crazy for 3 days now, windows tends to lose focus every exactly 1 min and some sort of a program blinks in the task bar and disappear, it happens all the time right after i log in to windows, i can't play any game as it minimizes it every minute, i can't watch any movie in full screen mode as it losses focus and minimizes it, i tried to restore windows to system restore point but i didn't find any, i surfed alot of forums for a solution and some guys said the antivirus so i uninstalled it ( although i wasn't convinced ) but it didn't help, i uninstalled every program i installed in the last week but it didn't help, i have tried every available solution but it was useless.
    i finally managed to capture a photo of the blinking program and it was some sort of cameras and printers program !
    i have gone for printers and removed every printer i had but the problem still there, i also has no cameras installed ( except for built-in webcam ) help me, i don't wanna install a new OS and go through all the updates and program installing again
    P.S: i attached a photo of the blinking program
    excuse my poor english it's my second language ...

    I would assume you've ran all your anti-virus/anti-malware programs? If not do so without delay. Have you checked and updated your video drivers? (long shot) You could also try a sfc/scannow to check and possibly repair any corrupted system files. Heres a link to a tutorial on how to do that. SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker
    We have many excellent tutorials here, written by some very knowledgeable people. Hope this helps.

    And welcome to the forums!
