I just rebooted this morning, it doesn't work within Excel 2010 or Outlook 2010, it does work with Chrome, sometimes.

Did some more experimenting: If Excel 2010 has focus, it does NOT work with any other program. If Outlook 2010 has focus it will work with Outlook 2010 and Chrome, but not Excel 2010. If Chrome has focus it will work with Chrome and Outlook 2010, but not Excel 2010. Excel does not seem to want to play nice with everyone else.

Thanks,
Don ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/mouse-wheel-for-windows-not-in-focus-stopped-working/?ID=0fcdf9be-e21f-4f5d-a36f-d43e45708172#10 Fri, 13 Nov 2015 15:17:00 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/mouse-wheel-for-windows-not-in-focus-stopped-working/?ID=0fcdf9be-e21f-4f5d-a36f-d43e45708172#10 DisplayFusion Ok, thanks guys! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/mouse-wheel-for-windows-not-in-focus-stopped-working/?ID=0fcdf9be-e21f-4f5d-a36f-d43e45708172#9 Fri, 13 Nov 2015 03:38:48 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/mouse-wheel-for-windows-not-in-focus-stopped-working/?ID=0fcdf9be-e21f-4f5d-a36f-d43e45708172#9 DisplayFusion I concur that the problem seems to have to do with old boot sessions. My systems run for a full week, and are shut down on Saturdays for backup and then rebooted for the sake of making sure any pending Windows Updates get applied. I can't say with total certainty, but off the top of my head, it feels like this is a Wednesday-Friday problem for me. (My boot sessions start Saturday afternoon and stay up till following Saturday morning).

I doubt it's just time - probably some event is the catalyst. I'll keep watching for what it might be.

I tried. Just started working again after the reboot.
By the way, it hasn't reoccurred since I posted here. I've been turning off my computer most nights. I think when I noticed it, the computer had been on for quite a number of days... ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/mouse-wheel-for-windows-not-in-focus-stopped-working/?ID=0fcdf9be-e21f-4f5d-a36f-d43e45708172#7 Tue, 10 Nov 2015 18:44:31 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/mouse-wheel-for-windows-not-in-focus-stopped-working/?ID=0fcdf9be-e21f-4f5d-a36f-d43e45708172#7 DisplayFusion Thanks guys! I can't seem to reproduce it here, so if you notice anything that seems to trigger it, definitely let me know. Also, when it happens, if you just open the Settings and click Apply, does it start working again? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/mouse-wheel-for-windows-not-in-focus-stopped-working/?ID=0fcdf9be-e21f-4f5d-a36f-d43e45708172#6 Fri, 06 Nov 2015 18:49:57 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/mouse-wheel-for-windows-not-in-focus-stopped-working/?ID=0fcdf9be-e21f-4f5d-a36f-d43e45708172#6 DisplayFusion Also on Win7x64. One thing I have noticed is that when it breaks, it stays broken until the next boot session. Always seems to work after a fresh reboot, but then after a while it stops working, and only reboot fixes it.

I too will start watching for what might be the catalyst causing it to break.

So like the other person said, it looks like it's intermittent.
I'll try to pay attention in case it happens again. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/mouse-wheel-for-windows-not-in-focus-stopped-working/?ID=0fcdf9be-e21f-4f5d-a36f-d43e45708172#4 Fri, 06 Nov 2015 01:27:10 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/mouse-wheel-for-windows-not-in-focus-stopped-working/?ID=0fcdf9be-e21f-4f5d-a36f-d43e45708172#4 DisplayFusion Sorry about that.

As of today it is working again, but on several occasions in the last few weeks it has not. I went straight to displayfusion settings and verified that the feature was enabled, and it was. So far I cannot discern any particular pattern or cause for the outages. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/mouse-wheel-for-windows-not-in-focus-stopped-working/?ID=0fcdf9be-e21f-4f5d-a36f-d43e45708172 Thu, 05 Nov 2015 02:34:56 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/mouse-wheel-for-windows-not-in-focus-stopped-working/?ID=0fcdf9be-e21f-4f5d-a36f-d43e45708172 DisplayFusion I just noticed today that it's no longer working. It used to work perfectly fine. I have no idea when it's stopped working. I just noticed today. It could have stopped working recently or a while back. Is there a current known bug about this? Is it possible that it could be a bug that was introduced with a past update of DsiplayFusion, or should I consider this is a problem that applies only to my setup? Thanks. ]]>
