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 also have this problem on all 3 of my computers.  All are running Win10 with Excel 2016 through an Office 365 subscription.

    Creating a copy of the Excel executable, naming it Excel2 and then setting it as the default program to open Excel files solves the problem.

    Not a great workaround as every time Excel updates through my subscription I have to go make a new copy, set the default, blah blah blah.

    Please submit this bug and have it resolved!

    Hi Michelle,

    This is still not fixed.  It's a major pain to not have it fixed.

    Microsoft, please stop treating us like idiots.  This is a REAL ISSUE here.  Please deal with this.

    I have had the same issue since the anniversary update (also numerous other annoying issues caused by the update).

    I have no interest in registry hacks, 3rd party software, or rolling back my update and never updating again.  This is something that should be fixed natively by Microsoft.

    I'm sure there are many, many users facing this that just don't bother posting here.

    How many users need to have the same problem before it gets forwarded to the Office Team?  Add me to the list.  Excel Version: 14.0.7177.5000 (32-bit)
