I have recently installed Windows 10 and I have a problem with timing out on active work spaces. For example if I open up an excel spreadsheet and click on a cell to input data it keeps switching from being active to be non-active every 2-3 seconds. It also occurs with dialogue boxes and pull downs in data entry boxes. has anyone got suggestions on how to fix the problem?

Thanks

so this only happens when you are using excel or it happens in any window?
