Hi David,

Windows has a feature where you can activate a window by hovering over it with a mouse. We would like to verify if you are referring to that kind of feature. If so, we can disable it using the steps below:

• Right-click on the Start menu.
• Choose Control Panel then, click Ease of Access.
• Click Change how your mouse works.
• Look for Make it easier to manage windows then, uncheck the box beside the
  Activate a window by hovering it with the mouse.
  
• Click Apply, then OK.

Don't hesitate to update us with the result.
