The only AM setting I have found which makes any difference is when window mode is set to "window". It doesn't seem like this problem is related to any specific layout. I am posting this today because I just updated to 2.4 and it is still happening to me. At the time, I didn't see anyone else on the forums mention my problem and I thought that it would be something I could either solve on my own or it might be fixed in the next update of AM. I don't recall anything specific I updated or changed when I first noticed this problem, but it began several weeks ago when I was using version 2.3. I have been using AM for a couple years without this problem. I am running Windows 10 home (64-bit, build 1803) and the newest version 2.4.0 (64-bit) of AM. To be clear, I am not mouse-clicking anything specific, it is like Windows isn't returning the focus back to AM. If I just wait, AM never comes back on my screen, I must click the mouse or Alt-Tab for AM to show again. When exiting the MAME game, my screen seems to freeze on the latest image of the game that was running (almost like I pressed to pause instead of exit) until I click the mouse and then AM comes back to my screen immediately.

Attract-Mode launches a game through MAME with no trouble, but when I exit that game, my screen does not automatically return to Attract-Mode unless I click the left mouse button or Alt-Tab.
