    Windows 10 Focus assist active when on desktop only


    Since the Windows 10 May feature update Focus Assist is now constantly active if my PC is sitting on the desktop when its set for Full screen or games only. It disables if i open a program such as chrome and works as intended when i go full screen or launch a game. If i were to minimise or close chrome (as an example) and return to desktop focus assist activates again. I've tried disabling focus assist completely but surprising it seems to still be active while on the desktop and I've tried closing all background running programs to no avail. Is this a change in intended behaviour for focus assist or a outstanding issue and is there any workarounds?
