  1. How Can I Enable Middle-Button Scrolling in Windows 11?


    Hi,I can't use scrollwheels, so I use a mouse with an actual scrolling button. I want to be able to hold the button down, and drag, to scroll, what used to be called "Windows-style" scrolling.I can use scrollbars *if they're wide enough*, but it's much easier to use a scrolling button.The Windows 11 mouse settings do not mention the 3rd button, and they expect a wheel instead.Are there other settings and/or apps to enable this type of scrolling?It's an Elecom CAD Mouse, so I tried Elecom's mouse settings apps, too, but they aren't compatible wwith the mouse either.

    :)
     

  2. Middle button scroll not working.

    Hello, after the last Windows 10 Update I can't scroll with my middle button on the mouse.

    Could someone help me?

    The mouse is Bloody V7 from A4Tech.

    Middle click to scroll in Windows 10.

    I have tried multiple mice and none of them will scroll in Windows 10 when I click the middle mouse/scroll wheel button. This works perfectly fine on windows 7, in almost every application or browser I can think of. This is not rolling the scroll wheel (that's
    fine) but *clicking* the scroll wheel and moving the mouse to scroll.

    I have removed the mouse from the device manager and unplugged/replugged them and nothing will middle click or drag scroll. I downloaded a Firefox add-in and it worked (had a couple issues on some pages).

    This is a new computer with a fresh install of Windows 10 Pro version 1909.

    The mouse is listed as a HID-compliant mouse and the driver is version 10.0.18362.1 dated 6/21/2006. Updating the driver does nothing.

    There are no other mouse related program installed. This is a lost functionality of Windows 10.

    Middle mouse click toggles between windows - how to disable?

    I'm currently using a Win 10 PC (21H2) and noticed something weird:

    If I press and hold down the middle mouse button/mouse wheel and move the mouse slightly, usually the (e.g. browser) page scrolls down/up quickly but on this PC clicking the middle mouse button/mouse wheel opens a list of windows/apps that are currently open and clicking the button again toggles between these windows.

    I already connected the same mouse to another Win 10 PC (20H2) and it does the regular fast scroll there.

    I also checked the Win 10 mouse settings but didn't find any settings for the middle mouse button.

    How do I disable the weird window toggle for the middle mouse button and enable the regular fast scrolling again?
