Hi !
I recently had some trouble on my Windows 11 machine (22H2 22623.1325) :
from time to time (could be 3 seconds, could be 3 minutes), something steals the current window's focus.
This is particularly annoying, since it can happen when I'm typing text in a form and, without noticing, I may find myself typing in the void, loosing my text (or worse : sending it somewhere I didn't intend to. Think about privacy/security).
It also can happen when I'm gaming in "borderless window" mode : suddenly, I can't control my game anymore as long as I click back on its window.
I first thought it was the Windows file explorer, or a strange MS Edge bug, but couldn't stop the stealing 100% of the time when closing them.
So I've found a little program called "Windows Focus Logger" (see : https://www.thewindowsclub.com/prevent-applications-from-stealing-focus). It clearly shows that "BoincTasks 1.91 (Tasks)" is the culprit.
So : I do not know anything about Windows UI rules or code, but when I close BoincTasks, the stealing goes away. Never had a problem of this kind with BT for years... Maybe something has changed in its inner code ?
