When I use the mouse wheel, it affects the window (or the control within it) directly under the mouse pointer, and not the active window/control as it used to. I got this change in behaviour when win10 installed.

This seems like a "ease of access" setting, but I can't find how to change it.

I want the mouse wheel to act on the active window/control - not the one under the pointer, because if you happen to move the pointer a little you start sending mouse wheel messages to the wrong control.

I also have a problem with the Microsoft Mouse 5000. When I left-click on a field, the contents of that field briefly appear then disappear so that I have to continually click to see that field. I think this is a sensitivity issue but I can't see anywhere to adjust it. I don't think it's a W10 issue as such. I hope it's not just dud batteries....
Anyone else seen this erratic Mouse behavior?
