#Set focus and other section on outlook for mac windows 10
I already disabled practically all of the notifications from Windows 10 Notification Center, but that did not help. Any time Outlook would show a notification for new mail, the window also stole focus. Why and when does stealing focus happen?Īt least in my case, it was fairly simple.

No app should be jumping around frantically anyway. I did not find a suitable solution for just Outlook, but luckily that doesn’t stop us from disabling ALL APPS from stealing focus altogether! And to me, that’s not bad. The best that was given to Outlook alone was to disable all add-ins, but that did not do the trick. Some quick googling did not yield any good solutions for me. Okay, it’s worth another post, whether broken updates should be pushed to end-users, but let’s not go there. Like most people, I get a lot of email, and after a while my humor completely ran out with Outlook jumping in, stealing my keystrokes and doing whatever those keystrokes were bound to in Outlook. Why and when does stealing focus happen?Īfter some recent batch of Windows updates my Outlook desktop client started stealing focus whenever there was a new email coming in.
