Turning Off Window Focus Follows Mouse?
Jul 29, 2015
I was running Win 7 before the upgrade and I had the window focus setting to follow my mouse. In other words, I just needed to place my mouse in a window for it to be focused... no clicking necessary. There was a small delay in the focus and this worked well for me. I find in 10, however, that the delay is gone so as I move my mouse around the screen, windows popup very quickly. The easiest solution for me is to just turn off the feature. But I can't seem to find where to do that. In 7, this was done via Ease of Access menu but that option is not there in 10 nor is it in the mouse options and I don't see a Windows Settings option/menu anywhere. The only way I can manage my windows right now is to minimise everything other than the window I'm working in... this is a bit inconvenient.

I'm having some problems after my Windows upgrade from 7 to 10...
Basically, I'm working on a multiple monitor system. When I move my mouse around the screen, windows changes the focus from the window that I'm working in (a spreadsheet for example), and starts entering data in any window i mouse-over.
I found a partial solution in the following thread.....but this only disables the window popping-up (the focus still changes).

For instance: Edge downloads a program which has a setup dialog. On hitting run, the setup dialog appears on the taskbar, but Edge remains in front. Once you bring the setup screen is in focus, you don't realise that it will not respond because, again, behind Edge, another dialog has opened saying "another instance of setup is already running".
This behavior seems to happen with other error messages, and property sheets etc. which ought to be brought to front, but open in the background.
what is the resolution to it?

I have an ASUS computer and prior to downloading windows 10 I was able to turn the touch pad off and use my mouse. With windows 10 my mouse works but so does my touch pad. I have tried going so far as deleting the touch pad driver but to no avail. Its gone for a few minutes and then returns.

I edited the BIOS settings to try and enable my keyboard and mouse and wake my computer from sleep, however now I am having the problem that moving the mouse/using keyboard also turns on my computer when it is powered off.
Is there a way to get my computer to wake, by only click or typing any key (not moving mouse), but at the same time, keyboard and mouse not affecting anything while the PC is turned off (only being able to press the power button on the PC tower to turn it on from shutting it down)?
Here is a photo of my BIOS settings currently. When I have "Resume from S3/S4/S5 by USB Device" enabled, the computer turns on (from being shut down) by moving the mouse/clicking/hitting any key on the keyboard. When it is turned off, the mouse or keyboard don't do anything while the computer is off or asleep.

I'm having the same issue and Option 3 in that tutorial is not working for me. Should I start a new thread?
Mouse Hover Makes Window Active - Enable - Windows 7 Forums
My situation: in Win7, I had the option checked to 'Activate window on mouse hover' and just upgraded to Win10, and having no delay before the window gets active.
I went into the registry and for
HKEY_CURRENT_USERControl PanelDesktop
UserPreferenceMask the value there after the upgrade is DF 7E 07 80 12 00 00 00
I changed this to the suggested: 9F 3E 07 80 12 00 00 00 and after logging back in, on hover, the window gets active but not focused - not what I'm looking for so I have left this value at DF...
for:
ActiveWndTrkTimeout
I changed the decimal value to 150 and still no delay. Even at 500, still no delay.

I installed build 10532 this afternoon and ran into an issue with the search window not having accurate mouse pointing. As a result I rolled back to build 10525 which fixed that issue. My problem now though is that I can't access folders when I key in a search item, for example keying in Documents I can't access the Documents folder in the suggested items.

I'm recently upgraded form windows 7 to windows 10. I'm facing the annoying issue that windows explorer steals the application focus after it finishes copying files and comes to front. Any option to disable this behavior?

I am plagued by software running in the background such as backup that pops up a window over what I am working on. If I am busy typing and fail to notice my typing is wasted! It is extremely irritating. It isn't a particular Win 10 issue I suppose but that is what I am using.
Is there a Windows setting I can configure or is this purely in the hands of the rogue software?

Last, previously closed window outline remains displayed. Sometimes can 'force' it to go away by left clicking on an unused portion of desktop but not always.
Just got laptop for Christmas and has always had this problem so might be a setting.
Have looked at Advanced -> Visual Settings but didn't see any that looked like would fix (tried setting Best Performance - which turned everything off but didn't fix)

I use left handed mouse, and swapping left / buttons works OK. I also set the wheel button to be "double click". But the wheel button brings up the context menu instead of double click. If I change to right hand mouse, the wheel button gives double click as expected. how to make the wheel button give double click for left hand mouse?

My pc has recently decided to start turning itself on in the middle of the night, while its supposed to be hibernating (I'm not sure yet if it is also affected during a normal shut-down). I also haven't managed to lock down the exact time (if there is one) that this happens.
From some digging I did, some people seemed to think that the task scheduler was doing things by itself. I identified two task that looked like they might fit the criteria (below) - are either of these likely to be causing the spontaneous turn-ons, and what's the safest way to resolve this?

I upgraded one of my systems to 10 the other day and ever since it won't stay off, it just turns itself back on every time I shut it down. It was a clean install, not an upgrade. Never had this issue before the upgrade.

I noticed we had updates automatically installed today. The next thing I noticed was that when working in Excel if I didn't move the mouse within one minute the display turned off. After trying a few other programs I realize that it turns off after a minute in almost all my programs or even when I'm just reading a newspaper. If this is something from the latest updates? I never experienced this before. In fact, it just turned off while I was mulling over this post.

After shutting down my computer every night, at some point during the night the computer is randomly turning itself on. I have not changed anything that would indicate that this should occur. It didn't happen when I had Windows 8.1 and now that I have Windows 10 it does happen.How to fix it?

I have a computer with the following configuration: i5 4460, ASRock B85M-DGS, 8Gb ram HyperX, Sapphire Radeon R7 265 Dual-X (with latest video drivers 15.7.1), SSD Kingston v300 120GB, windows 10 with latest updates and my display is LED Samsung LT22D390 22 inch. Every day, about 5 minutes after I turn on the computer, my display is turning off and turning on after I click the mouse. I put in power options "turn off display" to never but nothing changed. On windows 8.1 I don't have this issue.

After researching the forums this morning I have decided to post my issue;
I am consistently resetting the UAC (image below) and rebooting to allow Edge and Calculator to function as normal.
What must be done to keep this setting in its place permanently? Never had this issue with Windows 7 and never had to put the setting in this position either, it just worked. I'm sure I need some education on this for Windows 10.
I have tried to modify (through the registry)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionPoliciesSystemEnableLUA
Both ways (bit off/on) and nothing works. Maybe I'm not in the right area for this?

Since I installed Windows 10, it automatically went to high contrast.
Every time I reboot - it reverts to high contrast again.
When I go to settings to change, none of the buttons there work for me.

I always used to have my UAC turned off, and was very happy being able to quickly open up different programs with administrator privileges using the WinKey+R.However, ever since upgrading to windows 10, turning UAC triggers the "This app Can't Open" error [URL] ....
Searching for a solution quite a while, all I came across is suggestions to turn UAC back on. This is not an acceptable solution, I wish to keep the damn thing off, and don't see any reason why it should interfere with my ability to open the edge browser.

I am working on a .reg file to disable all the unwanted services. I do not know the keys to use for the following services and would like adding them to my .reg located below.

And can you look over my current list and see if there is anything that 100% must not be turned off? Is there anything else you would add?

This is a problem I hadn't experienced until Windows 10. Whenever I play games on my PC, the audio seems to cut out roughly 10-15 minutes after startup. Sometimes earlier, sometimes later. It will just stop without any warning. When I exit the game and try to test the sound, for example: playing a youtube video, it works just fine.
But I'll start up the game again and voila! It works and then cuts out some time later. I've updated all of my sound card drivers and whatnot, video drivers up to date, etc...considering reverting back to windows 8 where I didn't have these problems.
Problem just happened while watching a music video on youtube, so it's not gaming specific. Still just as annoying though - if not more
