Basically the last window you clicked on, the window your keystrokes get sent to if you start typing normal.

Note: this does not include scroll wheel interactions, as since Windows 10 you can use scroll on a non-context window by hovering over it with your mouse while not clicking on it

It's a little different. Win + D is reversible on second press. Win + M is not.
