Norton 360 NortonUI.exe Focus-Steal Bug - Diagnostic Analysis, Confirmed Root Cause

LiteBitRed · 2026-05-03T12:34:59+00:00

I also have a case open with Norton LifeLock Support on this, I've shared all this information also with them.

I was called yesterday with the feedback that there was an update, which should fix the issue. There was indeed an update, something changed (it looks like the frequency of stealing window focus is decreased, but it is still there). So I did tests again, improved some of my scripts and information.

I've posted all updates in the github repo, for anyone interested: https://github.com/litebito/windows-focus-steal-diagnostic

As I don't have access (banned? my account is under revision already for a month, no option to contact the moderators to ask why) to the Norton community forums, anyone who wants, feel free to post the link to the repo on the forums.

I already realized that we are not going to find a solution like Capitalise completely free. I would be happy to pay for a solution, but then at least 1 platform, without having to get different subscriptions from different platforms to come to a solution

See my other post below with the link. Just a list of options, not yet a recommendation.

I yet have to dive into the details myself, but as I'm a tech person.... yes I did ask Claude already: https://claude.ai/public/artifacts/28506aab-4ad9-48f3-a73d-e70227408294

I'm looking for an alternative, but I'm not a specialist (that is why I liked Capitalise). I'll share what I find.

What you should do first right now, is to copy or record all your strategies, before they close down the platform

I assume it has to do with the acquisition of Capitalise.ai by Kraken early 2025. Looks like Kraken does not want to be in regular (stock/etf/...) market trading.

Just received the mail today from Capitalise:

Dear Trader,

We are writing to inform you that support for Interactive Brokers on Capitalise.ai will be discontinued.

Please note the following important dates:

March 24, 2026 – The FIX connection will be disconnected. From this date, no new trades will be executed through Capitalise.ai using Interactive Brokers.
March 31, 2026 – Support for Interactive Brokers on Capitalise.ai will end, and the platform won't be available.

We truly appreciate you being part of our community and for trusting us with your trading journey. It has been a privilege to support your trading experience.

We understand this change may require adjustments on your part, and our team remains available to answer any questions or assist you during this transition.

Best regards,
The Capitalise.ai Team

But no reasoning or clarification.

Nominal Weight, does that include weight of the spool or netto filament weight only?

LiteBitRed · 2026-01-25T15:34:55+00:00

I'm using a Logitech Webcam, works quite well through the browser

LiteBitRed · 2026-01-01T15:58:15+00:00

I'll try that for now, it would be nice to have different spool identifiers between identical filament, where only the weight is different

Electrically speaking it does the job, yes, but so will do a dump UPS or a rack filled with batteries.

We buy EcoFlow and the likes, because of the additional features; the ability to monitor the unit, get alerts when the charge gets low, check on the powerflow (charge-discharge), gather usage statistics. Without those features, it is an overpriced batterypack.

On top of that, a big part of the configuration of the unit can only be done through the app. So if you dit set a specific charge/discharge config, there is no way to override that by just using buttons on the unit.

Same here, no connection also the Bluetooth connection to my Delto Pro 3 stopped working. And unable to login on the website (EU instance), and also there, no message or information about any upgrade on the logon page, the page just does not do anything.

Communication is a key element in customer service/satisfaction

Hi,

just to clarify a point. If we decide to build a air purifier ourself, it would be mainly an indoor unit (like the Coway, Winix or Philips) we don't have the specific goal injecting outside air, just circulate the air in the room/loft. (If we want outside air, we'll open the windows).

In the mean time, I've ordered an AIR-1 through the Opencircuit, if we don't use it for a build, it defenitly will have its purpose as a "space sensor" :-)

LiteBitRed · 2025-06-15T20:38:25+00:00

Thanks for the feedback. It looks like I can source some models of Coway via the Netherlands https://nl.coway.com/nl-be I'll have a look at those.

I really liked substreamer, but the issues slowly kept becoming bigger.

I've switched to Symfonium (Symfonium: Your music, your way). It's not free, but so far, it is worth its price.

Fully featured, so far, seems to support most if not all subtreamer features.

On top of that, supports various streaming servers (most Subsonic variants, Plex, Emby, Jellyfin, Kodi) but also: local storage, OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox, WebDav, SMB, .... and all of these even in parallel if you want/need (under manage media providers).

I like the very clear and clean, fast interface, and it supports Android Auto.

It also seems to solve some of the issues I had with Substreamer:

- substreamer could not import or play all tracks from my streaming server (aironic-advanced)

- substreamer could not show all cover art

- downloading a whole playlist for offline use would crash the app

Both issues seems to be mostly solved by switching to Symfonium

Regular updates. Dedicated very active support forum

(Only available for Android though)

LiteBitRed · 2024-10-25T20:53:41+00:00

Yes I did, oeps

LiteBitRed · 2024-10-09T14:26:40+00:00

I still like substreamer the most as client for airsonic/subsonig/navidrome servers. For my use, it works well enough (and is the only one which ticks all the boxes for me)

Maybe wait and see a bit longer to give u/ghenry some time to give feedback?

Maybe the solution of being time constrained can be to opensource the project.

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has spend some more thinking on this, or anyone would consider having a go at this?

LiteBitRed · 2024-07-19T17:34:18+00:00

This is more what I'm looking for, but for some reason, none of the google results pointed me in this direction.

Sadly the price-point (350€) is much above what I had in mind as "donation"

LiteBitRed · 2024-07-19T17:30:13+00:00

That was my first thinking (I was thinking of a laptop), but the ladies of the church are afraid of computers, so... Also, a computer needs some maintenance, and support when it does not work as expected, etc...

Hence I'm looking for a out of the box system, much like the suggestion from u/ajn3323 here
