Problem description: I'll be playing a game full screen, and for no apparent reason, I get kicked back to the desktop. The game is still running, but I have to select it on my taskbar to go back to it. I've never tried timing these occurrences, but I'd estimate they happen about once per hour while I'm gaming. Attempted fixes: I naturally assumed it was a background application grabbing focus, so I've closed each of my background applications one by one in an attempt to single out the troublemaker. This includes: Asus AI Suite, Samsung Magician, Logitech Gaming Software, Virtual CloneDrive, Intel Rapid Storage Technology, EVGA Precision XOC, Asus EZ Update, iCloud, CyberPower PowerPanel, HTC Vive background processes, NVidia Control Panel and GeForce Experience (although these keep restarting themselves after awhile). I thought it could be a connected device behaving badly, so I've tried disconnecting each of my USB devices one by one. No luck. Recent changes: I built this PC about 7-8 months ago, and installed a fresh copy of Windows 10 Pro. This is pretty much strictly a gaming machine for me, as I do all my office/work related stuff on my laptop. I mostly just installed whatever drivers and applications were associated with my hardware. I can't think of anything I've installed that would cause this kind of issue. -- Operating system: Windows 10 Pro 64 bit. Currently on version 1809 build 17763.195 according to winver.exe, but this has been happening since I first built this system. System specs: i7-8700K processor OCed to 5.0 GHz (tested and stable), 16 GB G.Skill Ripjaws V DDR4-3200, Corsair RM850x PSU, ASUS ROG Maximus X Code motherboard, EVGA 1070ti OCed (tested and stable), Samsung 970 EVO 1 TB SSD, Samsung 850 EVO 500 GB This is driving me nuts, guys  . Are there any tools out there that can catch Windows events and maybe determine what's causing this? Would it be in any event logs?Thanks in advance for any help you super smart folks can offer.

I'd try running DDU: https://www.wagnardsoft.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=846 And then installing the latest GPU drivers. mekyabetsu posted:Would it be in any event logs? It's possible something could show up in the application/error logs.
