    Is there a way to focus on hover?


    Hi! I have a laptop which runs windows 11 and I use alot of custom shortcuts using the windows powertools aplication and in specific the "minimize window" shortcut wich minimizes the currently focused window, while it works well I would prefer to be able to focus on a window by just hovering the window with my mouse rather then clicking on said window. Is there a way to achieve this preferably without 3rd party utilities.thanks in advance for your time!

    :)

    In Windows 10, is there a way to get rid of the blue semi-highlighting on files the mouse pointer is hovering over?

    Hi Bill,

    I suggest you to disable window by hovering over it with the mouse and check if it helps. To do so I suggest you to try the below given steps and check if it helps:

    • Press Windows key + X key and click on
      Control Panel.
    • Select or click Ease of Access.
    • Click or tap on Ease of Access Centre.
    • Click on Make the Mouse Easier to Use was uncheck
      Activate Window by hovering over it with the mouse.
    • Check if issue is resolved.

    Please get back to us with an update on this issue, we will be happy to assist you further.

    Thank you

    Trouble with Hover function

    Hi Gwendolyn,

    The option to activate a window by hovering it with the mouse may not be enabled, and this could be a possible cause why you are experiencing an issue with using the hover function of your mouse.

    Follow these steps to enable the Activate a window by hovering it with the mouse option:

    • Using Cortana, type ease of access.
    • On the search results, click on Ease of Access Center.
    • Choose Make the mouse easier to use.
    • Under Make it easier to manage windows, tick on the checkbox beside Activate a window by hovering it with the mouse.
    • Click Apply and then click OK.
    • Restart your computer.

    Let us know if further assistance is needed.
