When the updater is running, the command prompt window opens and grabs the focus in Windows. This isn't a huge problem for the first window, as it can just be minimized and moved to the background. However, every other group that gets updated opens a new command prompt window and steals focus again. This limits the ability to let the updates run in the background while one performs other tasks. I usually lose a sentence that I was typing or have a full screen applications (yes, a video game) minimized unexpectedly while letting WSUS Offline run unless I leave my computer alone while the updates download and process (a lengthy process).
If these new command prompt windows could open minimized and without stealing focus, it would make the process of multitasking while keeping up to date easier.
I've looked for this option in the software, including poking around in the scripts, and have not been able to find a way to do this (WSUS Offline 11.0.1 and previous versions).
