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.

Not working for me either with excel 2010.

Maybe it's the 64 bit that's fixed for Rbot818? I don't know if i can test that... this is my work computer.
I noticed an improvement. It works one way, i.e.:
If any other window (Word, Edge, iTunes etc) is active, the inactive Excel window scrolls on hover, as do all other active and inactive windows.
On the other hand, if Excel is the active windows, NO other window scrolls on hover. It seems that once the Excel is active, it does not allow any other window to scroll.
Not the final solution, but a step forward!
Awaiting…for a complete solution.

I can confirm this also for Excel 2013
Use WizMouse and you can scroll other windows even Excel is the active one.
Does not work with two Excel windows ;-((
It is working for me right now. Both ways - when Excel is the primary active window, it scrolls on hover, and all other inactive windows scroll on hover - and when any other program is the primary active window, the inactive Excel window scrolls on hover, as do all other windows (regardless of program - that I've tried so far - including the before mentioned iTunes). I'm so happy.

Excel 2010 is not concerned - if I remember correctly
