    How to disable "auto-select" when hovering - Windows 10

    Hi LianeLe,

    There's a possibility that the auto-select on mouse hover is enabled on mouse settings that's you're experiencing this kind of issue. You may follow these steps to disable this feature and see if it works:

    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.
    6. Once done, click Apply, then OK.

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

    Regards.

    Hover / auto-select / auto-highlight Mouse

    Can any Microsoft technicians or any Microsoft Community members create an app that will turn off the Mouse Hover / Auto-Select / auto-highlight function in Windows 10, please. The Microsoft technicians should create a trouble-shooting tool to do it. It
    is clearly evident via the posts on Microsoft Community that this has been a long standing issue / problem for many people. - Jim
