A short while ago, someone was looking for something like this. I had a desire for the same capability. Here is a Win10 native feature I recently found.

So Win10 after about 1 sec, will make whatever the mouse is hovering over, the active window. Today is the first day, I am trying this out, so I really don't have an opinion if it is good, great or bad. If it becomes bothersome, then I will search for a quick way to turn it off/on. Maybe create something in Autohotkey.

Hope this helps.

How did this tweak turn out?

It does work. But it became more of a hassle when I was not using it with SC and its windows during trading. When in general use with other programs, it switched windows more often than I wanted, especially when there was a popup window, it would lose focus to where the mouse was located.
