RDS Focus issue with Windows 8.1

This is quite infuriating. I never post on here, so for me to be doing so, trust me, is basically as a last resort. I work for a s/w company, and we have two options w the app- local installation, or cloud, utilizing RDS. Our work database is (obviously)
on the cloud, so I can firsthand feel our customers pain. 
Once the RDS session is opened, whether its minimized or not, no matter what you are doing or where you're navigating, after so much time elapses, it steals focus, and i end up half the time inadvertantly overwriting customer info because the cursor shifts
over, you get the idea. 
I researched this for a LONG time. I cannot for the life of me find a fix. I changed the registry key for the foregroundlocktimeout to 30d40 hex, and still no love. Does anyone have ANY other suggestions? Its really making life difficult, but the conundrum
is I HAVE to have it open at all times. Thoughts?

I have exactly the same issue
It has been the same since i installed Win 8.1. just to summarise - very simple
When any Remote Desktop Services (RDS) is active it will assume focus every 60-90 seconds. ie
 reboot computer,
launch browser,
go to RDS URL an login,
open ANY application (word, excel, Explorere, IE... any of 30 on the server) - so lets say Excel
launch a local app - ANY - say IE, or word or explorer
and within 1 minute while typing in Word - the RDS excel will be in focus and you will be typing into it...
I concur with the OTownMarine above - all the basic fixes have been done, removing  KB2919355
& KB2959977 - caused the same issue as described
THis is not any other service or application except RDS
 - TAKING focus
I do not want to do any more basic testing - but am happy
to do checks or try things that are SPECIFIC to this issue as it is extremely frustrating. However having said this - it would take some one less than 15 mins to test when they apply their mind

  • Focus issues with Qt on MacOSX

    Hi
    I'm developing a plugin which targets CS3, 4, 5 and 6. I choose Qt because of the deprecation of ADM. This plugin works well on Windows for each version of Illustrator. Now I"m testing it on MacOS X, I have some focus issues with all version of Illustrator.
    For CS3, 4 and 5 I use the Carbon version of Qt and for CS6 I use the Cocoa version.
    My main problem is when a widget (Qt GUI element) has the focus and if I press the backspace of the keyboard  to replace the current value, the current selected object in the document is deleted.
    Moreover if I try to change the location of an object using the Controls tool bar of Illustrator, the value of the widget changes.
    Did anyone encounter this kind of problems and solve them ?

    Note that "AI Servo" focus has difference from "One Shot" focus mode with respect to what it does when you press the shutter button.
    In "One Shot" mode, the camera uses "Focus Priority".  This means the camera will NOT take a shot if the lens is in auto-focus mode UNTIL it can confirm that it was able to achieve focus on your selected AF point (or on one AF point if you allow it to auto-select the AF point.)  In short:  achieving focus is more important than taking the shot at the exact moment you press the button.  Hence "focus priority"
    In "AI Servo" mode, the camera uses "Release Priority".  This means that when you completely press the shutter button, the camera WILL take the shot immediately and it will do this whether it has had enough time to achieve focus... or not.    In short: capturing the shot at the exact moment you press the shutter button is more important than achieving focus.   Hence "release priority."
    If you quickly press the shutter button to get a shot, the camera is going to shoot first and worry about focus later.  You've got to half-press the shutter to let the camera achieve focus before you fully-press the button.

  • Major Issues with Windows XP and Sound Blaster Audig

    As mentioned in the post title, I'm using a Sound Blaster Audigy 4 card (recently purchased) and am having issues with Windows XP apparently because of it. When the card is physically installed, but the drivers are not, there are no problems. However, when the drivers are installed, Windows XP's "explorer.exe" crashes on boot, locking up the start menu and any other open windows. Now, I can manually end the explorer.exe application and then reboot it, and things will work... however, I cannot imagine that that is the intended functionality of this card. Additionally, I suspect the card in the failure of a game (Eve Online) but I would assume the issues are related. I've already narrowed the issue down to the Sound Blaster drivers. I've tried booting with the SB drivers but without the video card drivers, and the problem recurred. Every time I boot with the SB drivers installed, it fails. Without them, things seem to run normally. If it helps, I'm using an Intel Core 2 Duo E6400 processor, with GB of DDR800 RAM. I've installed Windows Service Pack 2 and all the other updates. The video card is a Geforce 7950 GT, with the latest NVidia Forceware (93.7) drivers. I've had this problem with both the Audigy drivers on the CD that came with the card and the newest ones downloaded from this website. My motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3, which includes onboard sound hardware, but I have disabled it at the BIOS level. I can provide dxdiag information or anything like that if necessary. Does anyone have any advice, suggestions, or have you encountered a similar problem?Message Edited by DerekKatz on 2-04-200603:2 AM

    Thanks for the helpful reply Dan
    I ran the file, CTZAPXX.exe, like suggested, and it ran without a problem. It installed the files and even required me to reboot my computer!!
    However, after a computer restart, I am still in the same boat. Codecs are installed, but the location of the device is "unknown". In Device manager, there are no unknown devices; it shows the codecs in the sound tab, but no actual hardware; as if my sound card does not exist.
    I use my computer for music, and my buddy needs me tomorrow night to play some music stored on my computer. I really do appreciate the help I am offered. I do not mean to sound impatient, but I really need this device fixed, or I will have to have him buy me a sound card....

  • Weird issue with Windows Server 2008 R2 Print Server

    I have an issue with Windows 2008 R2 (VMWare Hosted) running Windows Print Server. 
    Prior to a small network change, the print server was working well, hosting about 80 different networked printers from various vendors. 
    We made a change (that we ended up rolling back) to the Client's DHCP Scope OPT 006 (DNS Servers). The DNS servers never quite worked right and broke AD authentication to different servers, and was just a mess.
    After rolling back we are not able to keep the printers online. If we ping them from the print server, the printer(s) never wake up, when a print job is submitted. If we ping them from one of the access switches, they work fine (until they fall back asleep),
    to prevent this, if we start a ping on the server AFTER waking them up from the Switch Ping, they stay online and no problems. 
    If we stop the ping, they fall back asleep at some point, and again, won't wake up without intervention/switch side ping. 
    Has anyone experienced anything like this? Any tips on how I could possibly resolve it? 
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    According to your description, the issue seems to be that the printers can't keep online. Sounds like a power managerment issue. Why these printers fall into sleep? Have you consulted this issue with the manufacturer of these printers? Do these printers
    fall into sleep if them lose the contact with printer server? Have you tried to reset the printers?
    >>We made a change (that we ended up rolling back) to the Client's DHCP Scope OPT 006 (DNS Servers).
    DNS client will cache the recently queried records. If the DNS server has replied with a wrong records, communication issues will occur. To clear the DNS cache on a Windows device, please run the command below:
    ipconfig /flushdns

  • Itunes issues with Windows having to do with Apple's patent

    I had a thought and am not sure if it's right. I was wondering if myissues with Apple Itunes store on Windows 7 has anything to do with the Patent laws and all with Apple and samsung and all that.

    I had the same issues with Windows 8 Consumer Preview. I installed on a fresh system and still had issues.
    I experienced extreme lag, with pretty much everything, and iTunes freezing once I attempted to change the currently playing song.
    I had a mess with compatibility mode and found out that running it in with Compatibility mode enabled for Windows XP (Service Pack 3) and as an administrator fixed it. It works now, however, there is a popup message that comes up on launch telling you to change the compatibility settings, but pressing "OK" makes it go away.
    How?
    Open Windows Explorer, and navigate to: "C:\Program Files\iTunes" (For 32bit) or "C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes" (For 64bit), unless you changed it.
    Right-click on "iTunes.exe", select "Properties" from the context menu, and click the "Compatibility" tab.
    Under "Compatibility mode" check off "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" and select "Windows XP (Service Pack 3)" from the drop down menu.
    Further down under "Privilege level" check off "Run this program as an administrator".
    Click "Apply" and "OK".
    Should fix any issues, I have my default iTunes Media Folder Location within an external hard drive so unplugging all of my USB's wasn't an option.
    Hope I helped!

  • URL issue with Windows 7 Internet Explorer 11 and SAP NW PI 7.

    Hello SAP community,
    I am facing a strange issue with Windows 7 - Internet Explorer 11 and SAP NW java services (I hope I am in the correct discussion) ...
    When I try to open URL http://sapserver.hosters-name:port it is working so far with Windows 7 and Internet Explorer 11.
    But when I click than on NWA (example), I am getting "http 500 server error".
    I don't have the issue, when I start-up a VMware Workstation with Windows XP and Internet Explorer 8.
    But now the strange part: In our network DNS (Domain Name Service), we can also open the URL by http://sapserver.our-dns:port.
    Than it is working without problems with Windows 7 and Internet Explorer.
    I would agree to state the comment - it is just a Windows 7/Internet Explorer 11 issue, if it wouldn't work for both URLs (http://sapserver.hosters-name:port = problem URL; http://sapserver.our-dsn:port = working).
    We are using a SAP NW PI 7.x system. Some URLs for PI are using http://sapserver.hosters-name:port/java service.
    Do you have any hints what is cause the issue - I suspect some with Internet Explorer and Firefox (because with Google Chrome at least the URL for NWA is opened, beside the issue, Google Chrome can't display NWA content)?
    Thanks for your help.
    Best regards
    Carlos

    Hi all,
    I think I found the solution.
    The reason seems to be, the domain name for http://sapserver.our-dns:port, "our-dns" was already added to the compatibility view settings of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
    That seemed to be the reason, why it was working with http://sapserver.our-dns:port.
    When I now added for http://sapserver.hosters-name:port the domain "hosters-name" to the compatibility view settings it is now working.
    Internet Explorer Options => Settings for compatibility view => Add domain
    Best regards
    Carlos

  • SSLVPN connectivity issue with Windows 7 x64 All browsers.

    I think that I have tried everything to get this working but whatever I seem to do I cannot connect to my SSLVPN using Windows 7 x64. The 32bit version is fine. I have installed the Microsoft C++ Redistributable 2010 and 2005 for both x86 and x64. I have tried clearing the cache in the Browser. I have installed Chrome and Firefox , I even started my laptop using the 'Disable Driver Signature Enforcement' from Advanced Boot options but nothing is working.
    Does anyone have anything else to try. This is a bit of a showstopper for us because not do we have this issue with Windows but we have Mac users as well and that is also an issue.
    Cisco really needs to fix this issue fast...
    Please help.
    Thanks

    Try using both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Internet Explorer.  Sometimes one of the two will work.

  • Focus issue with CardLayout (Java 2 SDK, Standard Edition 1.4.0_01)

    I am having an issue with focus and CardLayout with Java 2 SDK, Standard Edition 1.4.0_01. I have created a small sample application to illustrate my problem. In general, I am trying to create a "Wizard" that the user will enter information and then press a "Next" button to proceed to the next step.
    When the first card is displayed, the focus is on the first text field as expected.
    When I go to the next card by clicking "Next", the focus is not on the text field that has requested it (through the requestFocusInWindow method). The focus is on the "Cancel" button, which is the next component to receive focus after the "Next" button on that panel. I do notice that if I use my mouse to bring focus to the window the text field will gain focus.
    Similarly, when I proceed to the last card, the focus is not on the "Finish" button until the mouse moves over the window.
    Is there something I am doing wrong or is there a bug with focus and CardLayout?
    One other problem I have noticed is that the buttons no longer respond to the "Enter" key press and instead respond to the space bar. Any suggestions as to why this is the case?
    Thanks,
    S.L.

    Manfred,
    Thanks for your reply. I tried requestFocus() and it gives the same results. Also Sun's 1.4.0 API (http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/api/) mentions the following with respect to the requestFocus() method in the JComponent class:
    Because the focus behavior of this method is platform-dependent, developers are strongly encouraged to use requestFocusInWindow when possible.
    That is why I used requestFocusInWindow.
    S.L.

  • Ipod sync issues with Windows 7

    I just purchased a new computer with the Windows 7 operating softeware and now I cannot sync my Ipod Touch (3rd generation) but I do not experience this issue with my old computer with Windows Vista.  When I need to update my Ipod I have to connect it to my old computer.  Help.  I do not want to pay Apple for support when I see countless post about this issue.

    Diane Wordsmith wrote:
    Are you set to manually manage on both computers? If not, an auto sync on one of them will erase the iPod and place that computer's library on it.
    No that wouldn't be it. The manual vs. Auto sync setting is stored on the iPod, not on iTunes. So if you take a manually managed iPod and plug it into an iTunes it has never connected to before, the new iTunes will still recognize the iPod as manually managed and not do anything bad to it (in theory).
