Solved If mouse strays off current window, window behind grabs focus

[nanrector]

Hello!

My title pretty much sums up my issue. It does not matter what the window is, can be a program, windows explorer, command prompt... anything. If my cursor strays off of that window even for a second, it shoots to the back and whatever is behind it pops forward.

It started doing that a few weeks back... and I'm not sure what I may have done that caused it. I did do the regedit thing where you set the ForgroundLockTimeout to 0. Didn't work.

Any ideas would be much appreciated!

Hello Nancy,

You may have "Activate a window by hovering over it with the mouse" turned on by mistake.

If this is the case, you can double check and turn this off using an option in the tutorial below.
