    How to revert a mouse setting that enabled mouse window focus?


    When I was using Windows 10, I used the option for the mouse to activate a window when mouseover is used. After updating to Windows 11, I find that there is no obvious way to deactivate this mouseover option. There are plenty posts showing how this can be done via 'Accessibility' for Windows 10 but not 11. This option has a big negative as every time an app is selected on the taskbar it opens but as soon as the mouse is moved to the app window the window is sent to the back. Can someone tell me how to put the mouse action back to default either via menus or by editing the registry?

    :)

    mouse settings revert to default

    Hi,

    A possible cause why your mouse settings revert to default could be an outdated mouse driver. We suggest that you download and install the latest mouse driver from the manufacturer's website and see if it helps. After ensuring that the correct driver is
    installed, check if the device is recognized in the Device Manager.

    Feel free to ask back any questions and let us know how it goes.
