Hello LTT forum, I've been having a fairly annoying issue with my computer for a while, and after spending hours trying to diagnose it, I've given up. What's happening is that every once in a while (usually 1 or 2 times per hour on average), my computer will decide that it no longer wants to focus on the application that I'm using and will no longer focus on any window whatsoever. This leads to me being cut off mid-sentence in an essay or being tabbed out of my game. Needless to say this is incredibly frustrating. I've looked at similar issues, and I don't have any of the applications that were diagnosed as the issue (I don't think). The issue has been happening for months, and I've been too lazy or occupied to fix it. Do any of you have experience with this issue or know how to diagnose what program(s) I need to remove to fix it? I can provide any info necessary, and my specs are in my profile if I managed to set that up right. I'm also running 64 bit Windows 8.1 Professional. 

Thank you all very much,

Bedward

Honestly I don't remember the last application that I installed, like I said it happened months ago. I can screenshot my task manager info if that would help.

Next time it happens try to disconnect and reconnect keyboard.

I have other model of black widow, but each time my pc wakes up from sleep it behaves like all keys are pressed. (Cannot focus any app and etc).

Yeah this happened to me as well, but once I uninstalled Synapse the issue was resolved. I just went on an uninstalling spree as well, so maybe I fixed the issue, if it happens again I'll order a new keyboard
