So for about 5 months now, my computer has been "randomly" minimizing my full screen programs and losing focus of my non full screen programs. It used to be random until I noticed that it happened at every 55th minute of the hour and every other 45th minute of the hour. I installed Razer Game Booster and that can block the 45th minute interruption, but the 55th minute interruption persists. I traced my installed programs back to around when this problem started and noticed that it was coincided with the installation of my printer software. I tried uninstalling all of the printer software, but I still had both interruptions. My brother also installed these programs on his desktop, which has the same problem (but I think he only has one interruption, not at the same time). I may not have done a full uninstall of the software, or it may be something else. I tried to put as much info as I can remember, but I'm sure there's more. Any help is appreciated - 5 months of playing LoL with this is slowly killing me.

 

Thanks guys!

I think it is an auto-update program. I just can't find out which one it is. I have a Nvidia graphics card, Rainmeter, and 2 windows desktop gadgets running, but I've had all of those programs for at least a year before the problem started. I have an Epson printer. I don't see any update balloons when my screen is minimized, all I know is that it happens once an hour on the 55th minute. It's a bit difficult to sift through my services because I'm not exactly sure what it is that I should be looking for. I counted 189 services...needle in a haystack? Haha. What should I look for?

Sorry for taking long to respond, it was crunch time at school. I had a couple of big exams to study for. I'm going to go through the services one by one (at least all of the ones that say update) and disable them. I'll let you know what happens. Thanks again for the help!
