Hi,
I am posting this out of sheer desperation and frustration, in the vain hope that someone out there will respond with a viable solution to what is quite frankly an issue that boils my blood!
Just recently following the latest update to the Origin client I have been experiencing an issue where my games are forcibly minimised momentarily (basically a programme stealing foreground focus), it happens about every 10-15mins whilst i am playing game through Origin, most notably BF V and FIFA 19.
Now here's the real kicker, the programme that's causing it is the Origin client itself, the one programme i am forced to use to run the freaking games in the first place.
I have done some of the obvious things (not that i should have to if the client worked properly) like disabling Origin In game, all kinds of notifications and auto updates disabled, origin cache cleared, disabled any antivirus software and fully updated gfx drivers (the usual scapegoats) but the problem persists.
I am not sure what it is, but something, some background event is happening within the Origin client every 10-15mins and stealing focus thus forcing the minimises. As i said this has only been since the last update.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, because at the moment it is making ALL my origin games unplayable

I'm glad I did revive it a this is the only post that I recall I've had a response to.
Thanks for the possible fix. It is something I haven't tried before. Will give it a try.
