    Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center favorite keys on the lock screen


    Hello, I'm using a Microsoft wired Ergonomic keyboard and have the three top left Favorite keys mapped to a custom script which controls a few iot devices around the office.


    Keys work great while I am logging in, but as soon as computer is locked either intentionally or after an idle time, keys stop functioning.


    I realize that there are some security issues involved, but the script keys are mapped to does not have to run as any specific user as it simply triggers a URL request and quits regardless of the response status.


    Is it possible to keep using the favorite keys during the locked state?

    :)

  4. Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center favorite keys on the lock screen

    Mouse not visible in Mouse and Keyboard Center

    I use Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard and Microsoft Sculpt Ergonomic Mouse, The first is visible in Mouse and Keyboard Center, but not the mouse. The mouse
    does work, however one of the reasons I have chosen this particular mouse is the additional settings in Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center, which I cannot use.

    I have already uninstalled and reinstalled Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center. No improvement.

    The mouse is on the list of supported devices and I'm surprised by this issue as I have never heard such a problem before. It is my second Sculpt Ergonomic Mouse.

    Thanks for any helpful suggestions,

    Krzysztof
