Windows 10: Can't change mouse setting when connected to a dock

Split from this thread.​

Hi Cliff,

Thank you for your response.

It turns out the issue was resolved by restarting my dock.


Bonus question: why would a screen connected to a dock have different but not changeable mouse settings?

Hi,

I realize that you want the left handed mouse when docked and right handed touchpad when undocked. I will try to help you with this issue.

  What is the make and model of the computer?
  

You can configure the mouse settings for left hand and set the touchpad for normal use.

Follow these steps to configure the mouse settings:

• 
  Press Windows key + I to get the Settings screen.
  
• 
  Click on Devices and then click on Mouse and Touchpad.

Hi Tonyo,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community forum.

The computer docking connections located on the bottom of the computer vary between computer models. For the docking station to work properly, the docking posts, eject mechanisms, and electrical connections on the docking station must be compatible
with the connections on your computer model.



Meanwhile, if the docking station is compatible, you may update the device drivers for your docking station and check if it works.



Update device drivers for docking station:

• Open the PC manufacturer support Web site, search for the
  Docking Station Driver for your PC model.
  
• Install the driver suggested and check.
  

If the issue persists, update the BIOS and try connecting the Docking Station again.



Note:

Modifying BIOS/ complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) settings incorrectly can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from booting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems resulting from the
configuring of BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Modifications of the settings are at your own risk.
