Windows 10: Mouse and Keyboard Center messed up the wheel function?

I have the Sculpt Ergonomic Desktop Keyboard & Mouse. A while ago I downloaded the Mouse and Keyboard Center to try and change the function of one of the mouse buttons - which worked perfectly. However, I also tried to change the wheel scroll speed, and now things are messed up.Basically, the mouse will scroll well over the internet, but will get "stuck" when needing to scroll over 2 specific functions:1. With the Ctrl button pressed zoom in or out of a page, it happens over the internet tab and Excell.2. When scrolling in a file explorer tab both when looking at my files and when choos

Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center drops support for Wheel Mouse Optical

So Microsoft changed over from its older "Intellimouse" driver to the "Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center", which I had installed in late 2015 on my new Windows 10 machines and was working with my "Wheel Mouse Optical", which is the mouse I have for all
my machines. So lately I noticed that my wheel button assignment was not working properly. I tried to open the "Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center", which had worked just fine before some recent update (apparently) now gave me an error saying that some resource
it was trying to access no longer existed (which was apparently on the "f" drive, which is not a permanent drive on my machine). So I downloaded the latest version of "Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center" hoping to fix this. So the app installed and then came
up saying there is no supported device on this machine. So I looked at the list of supported devices and guess what? "Wheel Mouse Optical", my favorite mouse ever, is not supported.

Add this to my seemingly endless list of problems with Windows 10. And add my Wheel Mouse Opticals to the list of disposable hardware, which includes my Surface RT and my Zune HD. Oh well, I guess I should be happy for the years that I got out of them.
