    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.

    Inactive window doesn't scroll when mouse is hovering on it

    Note: I'm using a Chinese system, so the translations might not be 100% accurate.

    There's an option in mouse section of Settings in Windows 10: scroll an inactive window when I'm hovering on it. I have it on, yet nothing is changed when I have it on: It always scrolls the active window even when my cursor is hovering on the inactive one.
    When multitasking, it would be helpful to have this function. Used Mac OS for a long time, the inactive window scrolling works like a charm. Tried this problem on multiple Win 10 PCs, ends up all the same. so I'm guessing this is a system issue.

    Is anyone else having this issue? Any help would be appreciated.
