This is still occurring with .9382: would it be possible to make the notification bar close button function as a <cancel> for the autofocus dialogue? [this feels like asking for the opposite of something that we discussed a while back, but I think there’s a slight difference in the actions] Thanks, ...

Thanks, Robin, that could be the case, since this window opens in the left side of the display, and then I move it to the right, so it could be opening off screen: is there any way to check this - I’ve tried hovering over the icons in the task bar, minimising windows, showing the desktop task view, ...

Robin, an observation of behavior that may be a bug: in the attached screenshot, you can see that I have an auto refocus running in each instance of SharpCap, but, and here's the question - there is only one refocus progress window.

At this point, < Live View > < Start Capture > < Quick Capture > are greyed out, but < Stop Capture > isn't, so I cli...

Which version of CWPI are you using?
Could be relevant, in that ISTR a discussion on Team Celestron about how this is handled by CWPI...
