how to Stop hover of mouse to inactive sites

Hi albertschmaedick,

Thank you for posting your concern on Microsoft Community Forums.

To get clarity of this issue and assist you with appropriate troubleshooting steps, could you please provide me some more information, so that I can assist you better.

1. Does this happen when you’re accessing the website or it happens with all the Windows?
   
2. Do you use Touchpad mouse or Regular mouse on your PC?

However, I suggest you to follow the below steps, and check if that helps.

1. Click on Windows key +
   R button and type Control panel
   
2. Click on Ease of Access
   
3. Then click on Activate Windows by hovering over it with the mouse
   
4. Then click Apply and
   OK.
   

We await your response.

Regards,

 

mouse hover over chrome window does not activate post screen resume

Win 10 pro ver 2004 build 19041.804
Lenovo X260

After screen has turned off then awoken by moving mouse, the chrome and edge browser screens do not become active just by hovering the mouse and moving the scroll wheel (or trackpoint)

It is necessary to either click on the tab at the top or else on the toolbar at the bottom.

I have the exact same build on a desktop which does not have that problem.

Steps tried already:
Graphics driver check, intel HD 520 up to date, nothing to roll back to
Mouse driver - ditto
indexing service - refreshed
Unused apps stopped - adobe, groove, xbox
disk clean run
cclean run
Mouse setting -'scroll inactive window' is set
DCOM error 10016 in windows log dealt with - deleted the 3 reg keys as listed in various forums.
full virus scan with defender on and offline

Any other ideas please?

 

Color Changes to mouse hover

Hi Dick

Tried the icon cache reset, it did reset, but so far I didn't detect any change.

I looked at your step recording. What's interesting is that your taskbar does show a loudspeaker icon, apparently even when you're not hovering over it. Then when you click on it you get the vertical slider picture. I get that but by clicking on an empty box. For me, the same is true for the other missing icon - "new notifications"

In your other picture of the mouse over the power icon, I get that just the same, but when I move the mouse down to the first option - Sleep - it is replaced by a black rectangle.

I'll live with these for the time being.

I will try MCBUILDER.exe and report the results later.

.....then I'd have to consider the Spitfires.......

Many thanks
Don
