Avoid Automatic Window Swap

Post by Sundog »

Is there a setting to avoid automatically swapping windows when my cursor unintentionally wanders off my current window onto a nearby one that's behind?

Click the Start button.
Type mouse works in the Search box.
The first entry in the search results should be "Change how your mouse works".
Click on this item.
In the Ease of Access Center window that appears, locate the check box "Activate a window by hovering over it with the mouse".
If this check box is ticked, clear it, then click OK.

Does that help?
Best wishes,
Hans
