Hello! So I updated Windows 8 to 8.1, but then I encountered an issue that never happened in the past. Every time I use any kind of application, it tabs out automatically every 10 minutes. It doesn't go to the desktop, but it disables any form of interaction until I move the mouse or click. When I'm on a fullscreen application, it tabs to the last app I used, or the desktop. It's really irritating, as it stops me from doing anything at a crucial moment. It's really an issue that needs to be fixed. Is there any solution to this kind of matter? I have been reading other posts in different websites, and it seems that they have a similar, if not the same issue.

Hi,

We wonder that if this issue happens evert 10 precisely, honestly there is no similar case before, and it is very odd issue. First give a full scan on your computer by using Antivirus software for good measure. It might be also caused by hardware. Disable human interface devices such as touch pad or external keyboard then check the issue.

If this issue still persists, try boot your computer to safe mode and clean boot then check. Also refresh your system might also be an option you can do, it will keep your apps and personal file.
