Try this. Run CMD and copy/paste:
Code:
rem If the time elapsed since the last user input exceeds the value of the ForegroundLockTimeout entry, the window will automatically be brought to the foreground
reg add "HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop" /v "ForegroundFlashCount" /t REG_SZ /d "0" /f

rem ForegroundLockTimeout specifies the time in milliseconds, following user input, during which the system keeps applications from moving into the foreground / 0 - Disabled / 200000 - Default
reg add "HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop" /v "ForegroundLockTimeout" /t REG_DWORD /d "0" /f

Thank you, so much but I can't tell the difference since that this issue occurs when I first time boot to the system it do this once or twice then the game works fine I think it might a windows bug as I think it was working fine in the previous version.

Thank you very much for help :)
