Touchpad Deselects Active Window - posted in Windows 8 and Windows 8.1: I have a laptop with Windows 8. I always had an annoying issue with it- whenever I swiped the touchpad to the right, it. You can move a window to the top of the pile so that it’s active in any of several ways: Move the mouse pointer until it hovers over any portion of your desired window; then click the mouse button. Windows 8 immediately brings the window to the top of the pile. On the taskbar along the desktop’s bottom, click the button for the window you want.


Hi guys, 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 Help Forums
My situation: in Win7, I had the option checked to 'Activate window on mouse hover' and just upgraded to Win10 and it's driving me crazy 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.
