Does anyone know how to disable not delay the hover feature for Window 7.  There are a lot anwsers but no resolution.   I've tried them all...  Did windows drop the ball, again.  This is actually my second time writing this questions within the last 5 minutes.  The hover feature closed my previous window which had more details.  Please help.  Windows, this feature was a bad idea, especially when you don't give the option to disable it.

    I'm using Win 10 Pro Build 106299 and it is fixed, at least on my machine. In Win 7 the switch was in Ease of Access Center, in Win 10 I can't find any links to the correct menu in the control panel.

    Anyway, the fix (for me): open WINDOWS SETTINGS, search for MOUSE. There are about 6 mouse settings menus available, select the one that's titled CHANGE YOUR MOUSE SETTINGS. About halfway down the screen there's a switch labelled SCROLL INACTIVE WINDOWS WHEN I HOVER OVER THEM. Default is ON, set it to OFF.

    That feature's not enabled by default, though - perhaps an OEM system could have come with that configuration, I suppose...  It would be good to hear some confirmation that this is the behavior Keyvie is concerned about...

    Er... I was commenting on my ignorance, not yours, and was requesting more details about the feature you were inquiring about.  Can you elaborate on what you are referring to as the "hover feature"?
