How can I make a window active without having to click in it in Windows 10?
I have both Windows applications (ie. Ultra Edit text editor) and Linux applications running through Xming and Putty in an xterm window. In previous versions of Windows, I could activate a window by hovering over it. In Windows 10, I need to select the window to make it active. Is there a setting in Windows 10 to allow the window the mouse is in/over to be active without selecting it?

How do you enable focus follows mouse in Windows 10, How can I activate the window my mouse is currently hovering over?, Hovering over window switches focus to it on Windows 8.1, Is there a way to automatically move focus to whatever monitor the mouse cursor is on?
