Sharpcolorado, thanks for the pointer to the hovering of the mouse option, however, I believe the behavior of Win10 is still different....and improved. The problem with checking this option is that if you move your mouse overtop of a window that is maximized in the background (but you have smaller windows active in front of), then it will immediately bring your maximized program to the forefront effectively hiding your smaller windows. With Win10 I do not have this option checked and it does not change the active window when I move the mouse cursor overtop of a non-active window (obviously assuming I do not click it), however with my mouse hovering it now allows the mouse wheel to scroll that non-active window without activating it. The other added benefit of this method is that hovering the mouse over a background, maximized window does not cause it to become active. I really like this new functionality. Hope this was not too confusing.

You can thank all the desktop users for that. They've been acting like the desktop is dead even though it's right there for all to see.
