  1. How to scroll on the inactive window without selecting it?


    On a dual window setup, I have to select the app in order to scroll the contents of the window and I gotta select the window of another app again to scroll. Is there a third party tool that can enable me to scroll on the inactive window just by hovering the mouse over it? That would be a lifesaver!

  3. Arc Touch Mouse Not Scrolling

    Hello Norman,

    The Scroll inactive windows when I hover over them option might have been turned off that is why you cannot use the scroll pads. Kindly check if that option is turned off. You may follow these steps:

    • Go to Settings, then select Mouse.
    • Check if the Scroll inactive windows when I hover over them is turned off. If so, turn that option on.

    If the issue persists, kindly uninstall the Arc Touch Mouse driver for the , then reinstall it.

    Your response will be highly appreciated.
