Windows XBMC quits to windows while playing!

Something is stealing focus.

You could run XBMC in a window "Use a fullscreen window rather than true fullscreen".

Or turn on debug logging and it'll show what app that is stealing focus away.

not much there!

The same can be said about your willingness to provide information about your problem. Wink

One thing that link skank provided does tell you is that it's not an XBMC-specific problem. It's something you need to figure out regarding your operating system's (mis)behavior, as is the case with the folks who posted on that thread in the Microsoft Windows 7 support forum who are not even using XBMC.

Hey I had the same problem in windows 7, XBMC would get minimized and a second later a windows alert requesting if jusched.exe could be aloud to run would pop up (Java app wanting to see if there was an update available). Some app is trying to grab your attention. I fixed my issue by having jusched.exe only run in the middle of the night and not at startup, I think it did this in task scheduler. Hope this helps.

Yup, i'm sure this is a windows problem.. or some other program trying to pull your attention, no xbmc bug.
Did you try a clean install with windows and see if it still happens?

I allready know it's a windows 'thing' but will try to look at the eventlog from Win7 when I get the chance!

I have tried to figger it out this afternoon by playing a movie for my daughter and looking at the windows logs the second it minimizes to the taskbar but couldn't find anything!

I think you can use this to configure focusing options:
