  1. Cannot program mouse wheel switch


    I have a new machine and I want to program the mouse wheel switch for double-click like it was on my old Windows 7 machine, but I can find no way to it for either the old mouse or the new mouse. The old mouse is a Microsoft "Wheel Mouse Optical USB" and was working fine. It is recognized in Settings/Devices, but not in the Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center – it says "No supported device detected." Go figure. The new mouse is the same way – it appears correctly in the device settings but not in the Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center.

    :)

  4. Cannot program mouse wheel switch

    Mouse wheel only controls volume

    Hi Nathan,

    The concern regarding your mouse wheel not working properly can related to either a hardware of software issue. To isolate your concern, we'd like to ask for additional information:

    • What is the make and model of your mouse?
    • Which version of Windows is running on your device?
    • Have you tried using your mouse on another device? If yes, did you encounter the same concern?

    Meanwhile, we suggest that you perform a
    clean boot
    . This will start your device using a minimal set of programs and drivers to eliminate issues related to software conflicts. Once you're in the clean boot environment, check if you encounter the same error. If not, proceed with the steps under
    the How to determine what is causing the problem by performing a clean boot
    topic. Click the drop-down button to view the steps.

    We'll appreciate if you can send us an update.
