Webex Teams (atmgr.exe) stealing focus every 10 minutes

Webex Teams is stealing the focus away from whatever application (text editor, browser, virtual machine) currently has it and the focus is kept until the next Alt+Tab or mouse-click. I am on Windows 10 and, using ProcessExplorer, have observed the following

  • atmgr.exe runs in parallel to other Webex Teams processes and is started along with them.

  • When atmgr.exe starts it steals the focus and does not return it.

  • After atmgr.exe has run for 10 minutes it starts wbxreport.exe, shortly after both processes stop, then within a few seconds CiscoWebExStart.exe starts itself and forks atmgr.exe - thus restarting the cycle.

    You could not have explained your problem more clearly. I experience the same issue.

    7 months later and Cisco marks this issue as "Needs more info". Pretty useless response and a pretty useless turn-around time. This doesn't seem to happen anymore, so feel free to close this "idea."

    it's really annoying. Cisco put the hack into my PC to go me crazy.

    Any update on this? This bug is plauging my productivity, constantly being tabbed out of whatever application I'm using.
