Windows 10: Is it possible to make hover to select windows faster?

Hi.

At work I use W10. Can I make selecting windows faster (near instant) by hovering the mouse?

I refer to this: https://www.isunshare.com/windows-10/activate-window-by-hovering-over-it-in-windows-10.html

Thanks.

1. Open Settings.
2. On the search bar, type in Control Panel, and click it from the search results.
3. Once in Control Panel window, set the view to small icons, then select
   Ease of Access Center.
4. Under Explore all settings, select Make the mouse easier to use option.
5. Under Make it easier to manage windows, uncheck Activate a window by hovering over it with the mouse.

Please observe if the mouse still auto-select and then update this thread with the result so I can assist you further if needed.
