Exclamation desktop keeps popping in

i need help regarding this strange behavior of my windows 7...
whenever im playing games or watching movies or basically anything from apps to games, a to z, every few minutes it would alt+tab by itself, not really alt+tab but more of something like the active program im on would minimize and my desktop would be there and the mouse pointer would show the loading circle pointer icon for a few secs. its irritating especially when im in the middle of something important...

Hi nino613. Some users have reported that AVG causes this issue so if you are using it, uninstall it and reboot. If the problem goes away, you could consider installing Microsoft Security Essentials. It's freeware too and and light on resources.

Another possible cause is a Windows Update issued earlier this year. You didnt say how long you have had this problem but if it's not a new issue, go to Programs and Features, look for KB977074. When you find it, uninstall it and reboot.

Let us know how you got on.
