Windows 8: Active window gets inactive automatically and continues to the flashing [sudden switching between active and inactive window continuously States]

Hello

I use DELL NewXPS Ultrabook with Windows 8. When a window is open and kept inactive for about 1 or 2 minutes, it is automatically inactive and the continuous window status from an active - inactive shows automatically. When this happens, the window is idle most of the time and the active State continues to appear at irregular intervals, repeated for a few milliseconds. This appears in the form of a 'flash' in the title bar. It's really annoying, especially when I read a document, this flashing action breaks the concentration and is really a burden for the eye.
I reinstalled the entire system through a complete restoration and tried to update all the drivers, but the problem persists.
Everyone knows the same problem? What are the causes and what are the steps to follow to get rid of this? Can anyone help?

Hello

As you reinstalled the operating system, I suggest you to contact Dell technical support for assistance.

  • Reset the workspace when switching between laptop and external monitor

    Is there a way to have my work space reset itself (or better yet change between two workspaces) when I pass between my laptop and my external monitor to my office. Adobe likes to crush my workspace in a sea of useless, mutilated pallets when I leave my office. There at least had the kindness to put it when I get back.

    I realize I can manually reset and I even put in place a combination of keys, but I don't see why he can't do it on its own. Or better yet, stop blend it upward in the first place.

    Unfortunately, I think it's an OS and PS reacts only to have to resize it to another monitor.

  • lost the "switch between windows" button on the Quick Launch toolbar

    Hi, I lost the "switch between windows" button of the toolbar quick launch, how can I restore it?

    • You have problems with programs
    • Error messages
    • Recent changes to your computer
    • What you have already tried to solve the problem

    Dasepo salvation,

    Here are the instructions for the program shortcut "switch between windows" returned the fell on the Quick Launch toolbar:

    First of all, make sure you that you must show hidden files and folders active. Here's how:

    Go to: Start/Control Panel folder Options/configuration and select the 'view' tab select "Show hidden folders and files under the section files and folders hidden from advanced settings".

    Then you can get the file from quicklaunch default section. This location of file is here:

    C:\Users\Default\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch

    You can paste this link into the search bar (Ctrl-Esc). When you get to this place, you will find the 'switch between client.lnk' which you can then drag directly to the Windows Orb and it going bust in the Quick Launch bar.

    Hope this helps,

  • I keep on getting error 0x6D9 and 0 x 80070424 code when you try to activate my windows firewall, also my mcafee firewall does not work.

    I keep on getting error 0x6D9 and 0 x 80070424 code when you try to activate my windows firewall, also my mcafee firewall does not work. I have Windows 7 and it started only caused since last week. Can someone give me an idea on how to solve this problem?

    When you have McAfee running, he provided the Firewall & automatically deleted the Windows Firewall.   Panel\Windows Firewall control page should have shown a message say.  If you managed to change the settings for the Windows Firewall then you might have corrupted both the McAfee & Windows Firewall.

    I really think you should try a restore for some time point before you tried modifications, if that is even possible.

    If you have uninstalled McAfee Control Panel, programs, then you must also run the Tool McAfee Consumer Product Removal or you will get several unpredictable problems.

    If you still have problems after running the McAfee tool then it could be the result of the previous Windows Firewall changes & the corruption of the system resulting.  Your system is in an unknown state as a result of these changes.

    You can try running SFC/scannow in an admin command prompt, but it wouldn't do any good.

    You may need to use the installation DVD to do a repair installation.  I hope get you lucky, but you may need to do a complete reinstall of Windows.

  • Is there a way to authenticate a wireless connection in Windows 7 without defining the wireless to connect automatically and then restart?

    Windows 7 machines tell unauthenticated when connected wireless to our domain. The unauthenticated message disappears if we connect automatically to wireless connection and restart. Is there a way to authenticate without a connection to the wireless automatically and restart? For example, I would like to connect manually to the wireless, whenever I want and as soon as I do that authenticates.

    I use a router configured medialink wireless more as a wireless switch. DHCP comes from our server. Security is WPA-Personal. I also tried to use a different wireless router configuration with a radius with PEAP server and that does not work either. The server radius authenticated the user, but the message on the computer remained the same: "domain.local 2 unauthenticated.

    Each way in which users are able to access the resources, but this message is driving me crazy. We do not get this message on all XP machines.

    Client side, I tried to turn on the discovery of the network, joined the field, turn off any firewall (only using windows), updated drivers NETWORK card, update the firmware on the router, etc..

    Am I missing something?

    Thank you!

  • Control Panel and search functionality in Windows 8 close automatically and return to high office; Computer is not compatible with Win 8.1

    I had a problem with Windows 8...  Problem started after several requests of "upgrading to Windows 8.1, I succumbed.  Windows 8.1 was not compatible with my hard drive.  Screen kept flickering.  MS supports finally told me that there is an incompatibility problem.  We have restored the Win 8.  They have me do not upgrade.  But never told me how to avoid invitations.  The problem is finally updated on its own and now after wiping everything 3 times and reinstall my software, I tried to go into the control panel to find where I can disable the automatic upgrade.

    The problem I have now is I can't have in Control Panel or the search function.  Whenever I click on it, a screen appears, and then closes and I'll be back on the desktop.

    My questions:

    How can I fix the problem where the control panel automatically closes?  Can it be done without reinstalling Win 8 for the 4th time?

    Assuming I'm correct, how can I prevent the automatic upgrade to 8.1 Win forever?

    It would have been nice if MS had designed the upgrade to first check the computer to see if she had all the necessary drivers and was otherwise compatible with 8.1 and then if not to prevent the upgrade.  It would have saved me countless hours to deal with this problem.  I'll think twice before getting a computer with windows again.

    If you are not running this time then Windows 8.1 is not the reason why the Panel closes.  This type of problem is almost always a virus or malware, but can also be caused by other programs that are in conflict.  So I'd start first by asking, you run 8.0 at this time?  If so, the closing Control Panel problem is due to corruption or an infection. If you are reasonably sure that you do not have a virus (run scans), so I'll try to remove all recent programs have been installed at the beginning of the question, try to see what is happening in Mode safe mode (hold SHIFT when you click the Restart option to get there).

    I got a new open word doc and is logged when Windows Vista did an update automatically and restart, now I seem to have lost! Any suggestions? A system restore wouldn't work?

    If you have not saved the document before the reboot - and Windows always give a lot of warning before restarting automatically - while the file disappeared.  There is no way to recover; System Restore does apply to system files, not data.

    Hello

    If Vista is preinstalled contact the Manufacter computer and ask them to send recovery discs; what they should do for a small fee.

    And ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to reinstall the operating system to how it was when new.

    If you have not deleted this partition (you tell how wipe you the hard drive!) you press F10 or F11, etc at startup to start the process of relocation.

    Ask the manufacturer for their combination of button to do this, if it is always an option for you.

    PS You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista must be installed. The product key determines which Edition is installed.

    Builders recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs
