We will show you how to enable or disable scrolling of inactive windows in Windows 10/11.
*"Scrolling" refers to moving the page up and down when you move the middle mouse button back and forth.
If scrolling of an inactive window is enabled, any windows behind it that are scrollable will also be scrolled.
This function is useful when, for example, you have windows arranged side by side, but there may be some people who do not need this function.
What is an inactive window?
A window that is not currently selected (and cannot be edited) is called an "inactive window."
On the other hand, the browser you are currently viewing is the foreground window and is the currently selected window (ready to be edited), so it is called the "active window."
