    Middle Click Not Working Since Upgrade


    I recently upgraded to Windows 10 from Windows 7 on my Lenovo Thinkpad T400. Prior to the upgrade I was able to middle click to open links in a new tab, close tabs, and scroll however now when I middle click it instead brings me to "Trackpoint scrolling tips"
    I have tried disabling Trackpoint scrolling but then neither my middle click nor my right click will work at all.
    Is there any possible way to fix this?
    I apologize if this has been asked previously on this forum, I have searched and found nothing

    :)

  2. Taskbar middle click doesn't work

    Hello,

    1. This is a standard local account.

    2. Yes I did.

    Method 1

    System Maintenance says "No changes or updates were necessary".

    Method 2

    I ran both, SFC and DISM, both of which reported errors, but neither of them was able to fix anything.

    C:\WINDOWS\system32>sfc /scannow

    Beginning system scan. This process will take some time.

    Beginning verification phase of system scan.

    Verification 100% complete.

    Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some

    of them. Details are included in the CBS.Log windir\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. For

    example C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. Note that logging is currently not

    supported in offline servicing scenarios.

    C:\WINDOWS\system32>Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth

    Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool

    Version: 10.0.10586.0

    Image Version: 10.0.10586.0

    [==========================100.0%==========================]

    The component store is repairable.

    The operation completed successfully.

    C:\WINDOWS\system32>DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /source:ESD:E:\Sources\Install.esd:1 /LimitAccess

    Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool

    Version: 10.0.10586.0

    Image Version: 10.0.10586.0

    [==========================100.0%==========================]

    Error: 0x800f081f

    The source files could not be found.

    Use the "Source" option to specify the location of the files that are required to restore the feature. For more information on specifying a source location, see Configure a Windows Repair Source.

    The DISM log file can be found at C:\WINDOWS\Logs\DISM\dism.log

    Even though I mount ISO file it still cannot find sources.

    I might have jumped the gun by posting here. While running these commands I noticed middle click does work for some programs (Explorer, Visual Studio), and doesn't for others (MPC-HC player). Could this be program's fault, not Windows'?
    Although it's still weird how it works only for pinned MPC-HC player, while for Explorer it works in either case.

    Thank you in advance.

  3. Taskbar middle click doesn't work

    Hello,

    I used to use middle click in the taskbar to close application instances and open new instances, however after resetting Windows 10 (might have happened after 10586 update but I am unable to test that now) this feature partially stopped working. To be exact,
    I can open new instances only for pinned applications, but it does not work for non-pinned applications. Is there a way to change / fix this behavior?

    Thank you in advance.
