Working XnConvert makes windows 11 loose focus of all windows

Post by Gh0sTG0 »

Hi.
Trying to use XnConvert 1.96 x64 portable (on win11x64) to convert big batch of .webp's into jpg's.
When pressing start, everything starts loosing focus. Like, I can't print something, etc. All windows are permanently out of focus when xnconvert is working... If I click into window, it becomes active(focused) for ~1sec and then loose focus again.
Timer says that it will take ~3hrs. That's not good for me to be without pc for 3 hours (I can find that time and go do other things, but... That's really not fine for me to be so "in-box" =( )
So, is there some way to use xnviewer without such strange things?

Yes. It's that? Should work without such things when off?
Yep. that was it. Thanks.

Hi, I'm a bit late to the party, sorry for the necromancy, but I've been looking for information since this was happening to me and arrived to the post.

I've been testing various scenarios and this always happens to me when I'm converting a network folder, specially if the folder isn't mounted as a drive in Windows, just a \\xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx\folder one. Tested in three different PCs, the issue happens in all of them. Two of them were recent Windows installations, nothing else there running.
