Re: 10 seconds to deselect
Posted: Sun Feb 26, 2017 6:00 pm
Setting HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\HungAppTimeout
to 10000, for example, doubles the default timeout of 5 seconds.
In my experiments this worked under Win 10.
Note: you have to create an new registry value because the default of 5 seconds is
usually not in the registry. You have to reboot Windows after setting this key.
It is of course not a perfect solution but as a workaround
it may be quite helpful.
BTW, in my latest experiments under Win 10 I also found situations where I did not
get the ghosting behavior after 10 seconds. So this is also not 100% reproducible
under Win 10.
