  • Windows>Run>Regdit
    • HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop
      • Edit UserPreferenceMask value to be 9F 3E 07 80 12 00 00 00
      • (there are many numbers in here, I only had to update the 9F 3E 07 parts and the rest of the value remained)
    • HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop
      • Edit ActiveWndTrkTimeout, change to 150 in decimal
    • HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop 
      • Edit ForegroundFlashCount, change to something like 7000 in decimal
  • Optional, not sure if this does anything
    • HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop 
    • Edit ForegroundLockTimeout to something very large (e.g. 9999999 in decimal)
  • Restart
