My window keeps on deactivating randomly while typing

Hi!

I've been suffering from this annoying problem of my window (whether edge or Word) deactivating randomly. It happens while I am typing (just like what happened while I'm doing this), hence I have to re-click on to the part that I'm doing**. I tried to do factory reset**, hoping that it would solve the issue. Alas! It didn't and it continues to hunt me while working. I searched within the community and have suffered the same problem. They called it "focus steal".

I have Windows 11 as OS and Asus Vivobook as my unit.

How can I solve this? Please, help me.

    Good Day FraulineTadle,

    My name is Carlo, I am also using Windows 11 and a community member like you.

    I can feel the urgency to get this fixed, let us work together to sort this out.

    -When you say it deactivates , the app closes by itself ? is that what you mean?

    Here's the steps you can try.

    -Click Start, type Task Manager and open it.

    -Click on Processes Tab

    -Look for Windows Explorer

    -Right click and hit Restart.

    -Click Start, type CMD and run it as administrator

    -Copy and paste the command below and hit enter.

    Sfc /scannow

    Wait until the pc finishes scanning and repairing any corrupted system files then proceed with the next command

    DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

    Restart your computer and done and observe your device.

    I hope the information above helps. Please let me know how it goes.

    Have a wonderful day ahead and stay safe.

    Sincerely,

    Carlo T.
