Scroll While Hovering Over Inactive Window

As a workaround, please try the steps below to activate a window by hovering it with the mouse:

• Press Windows key+X, then select Ease of Access.
  
• Under Ease of Access, click Ease of Access Center.
• Under Explore all settings, click Make the mouse easier to use.
• Under Make it easier to manage windows, check Activate a window by hovering over it with the mouse.

Note: Since the "Scroll inactive windows when I hover them" feature doesn't work in Windows 10 Version 1607, please visit our

Mouse hover inconsistent

Detail or List view is okay, if all the attributes/metadata is present.
the only thing I find annoying is that, even with 'Smooth Scrolling' enabled, the list is so jittery while scrolling!

I'm more adept at immediate visual identification...

 

How do I change scroll direction of a mouse NOT listed under Mice?

Thanks; yes, those are great directions and did work to change the direction of the wired mouse that came with the computer. But the mouse I'm using doesn't show up as a mouse in the hardware list, so I can't follow the rest of those steps. I need the mouse to appear on the list of mice in order to complete this sequence.
