Norton randomly making my window lose focus?

@Tarin Do you by chance have AMD graphics on the “other pc” being affected? The process “amdow” represents AMD software, specifically Radeon Overlay. Next time this issue appears please press the ALT+R keys to see if the issue disappears or gives you a setting to change related to its IME ( Input Method Editor ). I’m going out of the box with things to get something concrete going for you guys.

AI Overview

The user query “AMDOW default IME” appears to have a typo and
likely refers to the default IME (Input Method Editor) setting in AMD’s software, but there is no direct “default IME” setting in their graphics drivers or software. The query might be a misunderstanding of what “IME” means in this context, or the user could be looking for default hotkeys for different software features, such as the Radeon Overlay, which is enabled by default and can be opened with Alt+R.

Here are some possibilities for what the user might be looking for:

Radeon Overlay

  • Default hotkey: Alt+R
  • Function: Allows users to adjust gaming and visual settings and monitor performance.
  • How to change: Users can enable or disable the overlay and change the hotkey in the Radeon Settings under the Preferences section.

Performance Hotkeys

  • Default hotkeys: Ctrl+Shift+L for Performance Logging and Ctrl+Shift+O for Performance Overlay.
  • Function: Toggles performance logging and overlay on or off.
  • How to change: Users can change or disable these hotkeys in the AMD software settings.

Resetting to default settings

  • If the user wants to reset the entire AMD software to its default state, they can use the “Factory Reset” option in the AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition application.

Setting a default GPU for an application

  • This is not an IME but a related graphics setting. Users can set a default GPU for a specific application through the AMD Radeon Settings.
  • How to change: Navigate to System > Switchable Graphics in the Radeon Settings, find the application, and assign it a preferred GPU.

Since there is no specific “default IME” in AMD software, it is most likely that the user is trying to access the Radeon Overlay or the performance hotkeys.

Somehow this is resolved for me and I don’t know how. The only thing I know is I did the error log upload as one of the support guy reached out to me on my email. It took about 10-15 days since the upload, but it seems resolved now. Even my focusmonitor.exe is not showing any focus grabs from Norton UI anymore.
