Как в Windows 10 включить функцию X-Mouse

Как и в других операционных системах, активным в Windows может быть только одно окно, другие при этом будут находиться в фоне. Чтобы сделать окно активным или иначе перенести в него фокус, пользователю необходимо кликнуть по окну. Но это по умолчанию, делать активными окна вы можете просто наводя на них курсор мыши. Эта функция называется X-Mouse. Она востребована в ОС Linux, а вот среди пользователей Windows X-Mouse почему-то не получила широкого признания, хотя в системе она появилась очень давно, еще в 95-й версии.

Более того, многие пользователи даже не подозревают о её существовании, и когда им приходит в голову идея реализоввать у себя автоматическое переключение фокуса наведением курсра мыши на окно, они начинают искать сторонние приложения, а ведь всё что нужно, так это просто включить X-Mouse в настройках.

Давайте посмотрим, как это делается на примере с Windows 10.

Откройте любым удобным вам способом классическую панель управления, запустите апплет «Центр специальных возможностей».

И нажмите ссылку «Упрощение работы с мышью».

В следующем окне настроек установите галочку в чекбоксе «Активировать окно при наведении на него указателя мыши» и сохраните настройки.

Готово, теперь можно испытать X-Mouse в действии.

Откройте на рабочем столе, к примеру, окно Проводника и командную строку. Если вы наведете мышку на расположенную на втором плане консоль, она тут же окажется на переднем плане и станет при этом активной, так что вы сходу сможете вводить в неё данные. Окно Проводника, наоборот, утратит фокус и переместится на второй план.

И ещё один момент.

По умолчанию для изменения фокуса окон при наведении на них курсора мыши стоит задержка 500 миллисекунд. А вот как быть, если вы захотите сократить или, напротив, удлинить время задержки, ведь в интерфейсе Windows нет соответствующей опции?

Сделать это можно через реестр.

Откроете редактор реестра командой regedit и разверните ветку:

Справа найдите парамер ActiveWndTrkTimeout и измените его значение, предварительно переключившись в десятичную систему счисления. Если вы хотите, чтобы фокус перемещался между окнами мгновенно, установите в качестве значения параметра 0.

Чтобы увеличить задержку, допустим, до 1 секунды, задайте значение 1000.

Новые настройки вступят после перезахода в учётную запись или перезагрузки компьютера.

I have owned a Asus N76VM laptop for a few years now and it runs perfect under Win 7, 8, 8.1 and even Windows 10.

The latest irritation was de BT driver.
I own 2 Bluetooth mouses and they won’t connect running the current Windows 10 drivers.
(Trust Maxtrack and the Microsoft Sculpt Touchmouse)
Tere’s no problem with other BT devices such as the JBL headphones E50BT.
After searching on the internet i came across somebody with WLAN adapter problems who just ignored all update advice and installed the Windows 7 64bit driver running in compatibility mode within Windows 10 and everything worked fine.
So my toughts exactly for the BT drivers and again that worked for me as well.
I now can use bluetooth mouses again.
What i am saying is: sometimes you have to think out of the box and go your own way, witch is not always the Microsoft way or the manufacturers way.
