Windows 10: Middle mouse button doesn't work after some MS updates this week

Hi all. I ask for any pointers to start looking at this if you can.

This week after some updates from MS in my W10 OS I noticed that clicking the middle button is not working at all. Normally in a browser you can open in a new tab or close a tab, etc.

I have a Microsoft wireless mobile mouse 1000. Whet I get this mouse and connected for the first time (windows 8 at the time) some driver was installed and also "Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard center" was downloaded and installed. Everything worked fine. I upgrade to W10 and no problem with this until earlier this week.

Testing the options in the Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard center, none of them works when I click the middle button. I just download and installed the version from the site. Installed in a regular fashion and in compatible mode for W8. (can you believe this is not for w10?



The scroll function works fine even the Flip scrolling direction.



Later I went to a DELL desktop (W8) and I tried the MS mouse there and works fine. Maybe I have to "tell" W10 to forget his is a MS mouse and to have the default driver. If such, how?



Also, I tried the mouse from that desktop here in windows 10 and works fine. (dell mouse without installing anything myself).

Any ideas are welcome and appreciated,

Best regards and thanks for your time

Middle wheel on mouse will not open pages in a new tab

Thanks Brenda.

I hope this works:

First. This is the program I had when my laptop came in and I got the MS mouse. After I plug the mouse this was downloaded and installed.

Second. This was working fine until Windows 10 updates this week.

Third. This is a MS OS, MS driver (not updated to w10, really?) and MS Mouse. And as I mentioned a DELL mouse worked fine. Maybe what I have to do is let W10 know use a standard driver. How?

Fourth. The new version I downloaded yesterday had more options (for the middle button) that the already installed version.

Fifth. I tried to install the sw with W8 compatibility and the result is the same. The middle button doesn't do anything.

Sixth. I reboot and test before sending this

Seventh. I just review the page from the sw: Wireless Mouse 1000 | Device downloads | Microsoft Accessories and there is a windows 10 64 bit and 32 bit options for it.

Regards,

 

Middle wheel on mouse will not open pages in a new tab

Sorry for get into this. I have the same issue. Started this week after some updates.

I have a Microsoft wireless mobile mouse 1000 and this is the only issue I find. Testing the options in the Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard center, none of them works when I click the middle button. I just download and installed the version from the site.

The scroll function works fine even the Flip scrolling direction.

I tried the MS mouse in a windows 8 desktop and works fine.

I tried the desktop mouse here in windows 10 and works fine. (dell mouse without installing anything myself)

Any idea?

Regards
