Applications losing focus for a few seconds in Windows 7 [duplicate]

I had a similar problem. The Event Log had hundreds of errors in the past hour. I just killed the parent of the faulting dll. I'll probably need to re-install the program for a good copy of the dll if it comes back.

This sounds like there may be something nasty on your machine.

Check your machine for malware with something like MalwareBytes to see if you have picked up a little bug.


I have been experiencing the same problem for quite some months. Its been quite sporadic and random. One article that I read (sorry don't have the link) suggested that Dell laptops have this issue. The problem is due to some bug in the Bluetooth adapter drivers. So if you are using the internet by Wi-Fi, turn off the Bluetooth adapter and see if this solves the problem. There can be many other reasons for this problem, just wanted to highlight this one among the others.
