Il2 will do that sometimes a lot, sometimes not at all, but especially when you or your computer performas an operation at certain stages of the load, at other stages the game will shut you out unles your opted out of the closed load before that stage.
Anyway, the cure is, press your "Windows" key, which will minimise IL2 to the taskbar. Then click on the tab on the taskbar it minimised to to re-open it, and your mouse fokus (functionality) will be restored, as you said you did. There is nothing wrong with the game or your computer, so you dont have to worry about that.
Troubleshooting what process or preference is causing this to happen is not going to be worth the benifit, so its just something you get used to. When I launch IL2 (and by now, with so many mods, it can realy take a while to load), I immediately click on my desktop or another window, and I can then carry on with other work while it loads. To focus it I just click, windows-button, and click again, and I can play. I supppose that's turning a frown upside down...
