For instance, if I’m opening a handful of apps that take a bit of time to start up, and then start dragging windows around to set up my workspace, each time an app finishes loading or a new window is created, I’ll be yanked out of my dragging and forced into focus on that window.

I need a way to prevent these windows/apps from automatically seizing focus, it’s REALLY fucking annoying. Steam especially will hog focus 3 or more fucking times in its startup process. This is such a stupid default function.

    Hey I think I found something better than X-Mouse for you.

    Try editing the shortcut you are using to launch the Steam client, Right Click, Properties, edit TARGET to this:

    “C\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steam.exe” -silent

    There’s a space between the last " and -silent.

    Of if your shortcut has a different Target just add -silent to the end of it.

    Lemme know if this works for you.

      Oh yeah, that worked perfectly. That solves my Steam problem, so I think that combined with X-Mouse is about as good as Win10 users are going to do for this problem.
