After Last Update Scroll Inactive Windows Doesn't Work With Excel 2016

After the last Windows 10 update was installed, my scroll inactive windows setting for my mouse no longer works in Excel 2016 without selecting the window first.  This is a major inconvenience.  Is there a fix for this?

Thanks.

    I think this is fixed.

    No, really, if you have Excel 2016 Version 1710 (Build 8625.212 Click-to-Run), it is working.  Both ways - I can scroll Excel if another window is in focus, and another window if Excel is in focus.

    Please try it and let me know I'm not hallucinating. :)

    ETA: OK, halfway.  I can consistently scroll an inactive Excel window, but I can't consistently scroll another inactive window if Excel has focus (I'm playing with it to see if other programs are also not honoring the setting - one of them is iTunes, and we know what a mess that is)...
