Windows 10: Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center not working properly on Windows 11

I've had a Microsoft Touch Mouse for nearly 10 years. It has worked wonders throughout the years; I started using it on Windows 7, then updated to Windows 8, then Windows 8.1, then Windows 10 and time after time I have seen its functionality improve with the Microsoft mouse and keyboard center. What I love about this mouse is the capability of using multiple finger gestures as if I was using a trackpad. I can use thumb gestures, one, two or three finger gestures, I can scroll vertically and horizontally; and I have never been able to find any mice that does things like this one does. A couple

Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center macros not working in Windows 11

I just bought a Windows 11 PC to replace my old Windows 10 PC. I was in the process of installing all of my apps and configuring them on Windows 11 (just as I had in Win 10). So far, everything has worked (that I tried) as before in Win 10. However, when I ran a macro with the button on my "Microsoft Wireless Mouse 5000" within Win 11 (applied to one of my other applications), it didn't execute as expected. It let me create the macro as usual, but it never ran when I clicked the mouse button.

I tried doing the same thing back on my old Win 10 machine (with the same Mouse and software) and it worked flawlessly. The version of Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center that I used for both Win 10 and Win 11 was 14.41 (or more specifically, v14.41.137.0). I googled to see if there was a separate application for Win 11, but I didn't see one.

Here are the steps that I took to create the macro in Win 11:

1. I first opened the application that I wanted to apply the macro to.
   
2. Then I opened Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center and went to the mouse section.
   
3. I clicked on "app-specific settings" selection.
   
4. I clicked the "Add New" button.
   
5. I selected the app in the list and clicked on it.
   
6. I clicked on the button that I wanted to apply it to (Left side button).
   
7. In the list of options to apply to the button, I selected "macro."
   
8. I clicked the "Create a new Macro" button.
   
9. I clicked into the "editor" box and typed in the key strokes that I wanted it to execute.
   
10. I clicked the back arrow button until I got back to the main screen.
    
11. I pressed the mouse button within the app's window, but it never ran (even with Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center window still being opened).
    

As I mentioned, these same steps worked fine in Win 10. I even tried to use a pre-made selection (such as "Magnify"), but even that didn't work. At this point, it seems like the "app-specific settings" don't work at all within Win 11. Only the "basic settings" appear to be working (at least for the mouse). This functionality was the main reason that I bought a Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard!!

Any assistance with this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for any fix!!

 

Microsoft Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 with Windows 11

My Microsoft Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 works on Windows 11 - somewhat. All the standard keyboard operations work properly, and two of the the special function keys work, however, the MS Mouse and Keyboard Center software says "no supported device". Any suggestions??

 

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
