Launchbox 13.8 loses focus upon install

Got a mini PC for my games, and installed Win 11 Pro, then put on Launchbox 13.8. When it loads, it pops up an alert about scanning for other games on the system, but I can't dismiss it, or close Launchbox. Clicking anywhere on screen makes that windows "ding" sound. I can click on the taskbar (which is infront of Launchbox). It seems like it's loading and then losing focus but can't figure out what to close to focus on it again (no other windows are open, did the window+tab thing and it was the only program open.
 
Since it was a fresh install, I blew it away and put Win 10 Pro on, installed Launchbox 13.8, and the same thing happened with the focus.

I'm having this exact issue.  I was able to click import roms very quickly after loading for the first time, but then it like switches back to the main page saying no games found and giving the windows ping when I click anything.  I'm also forced to close it via task manager, right clicking the icon and saying close never actually closes it.

Do the following with LaunchBox closed:
Navigate to the folder you installed LaunchBox in.
Go to the Data folder inside of this folder
Open the Settings.xml file
Look for "EnableAutoImport" tag.
Set true to false
Save and close the file
Reopen LaunchBox

Let me know if that corrects for you.
