Hi guys. Have an unusal issue here. Running Windows 7 x64 with all the latest updates. Also running on multiple monitors
The last few times though, I noticed that when switching between windows, it struggles to bring that window forward. Especially between Windows Explorer & Excel At this point, it is already focused on Windows Explorer and want it to focus on Excel so it can delete the first row and go onto the next task.
Lilke I mentioned... this was working originally but isn't now. Was there a windows update that has caused this to stop ? Is there a reg entry I need to modify to allow automate to bring focus to windows again ?
Task Steps: (Right click, Select All, Copy to copy to the clipboard. Steps can then be pasted into the AutoMate Task Builder) |

Hi, Please open the Task Administrator and go to Options, then System Settings, then Execution. Please ensure 'Disable Windows Foreground Timeout' is checked.

Update - after some digging around and troubleshooting, I found that everything started working again after re-installing the Graphics Card Drivers. Not sure how long this fix will last, but for the time being, it is working again.
