  1. mouse button opens a new search pop-up?


    Greetings, After the latest windows update, a button on my mouse is opening a new pop-up that I don't know how to disable. My mouse has 7 buttons, rmb, mmb+wheel, lmb, forward&back buttons, task switch button+wheel, and search button. To this point I reconfigure my search button to use a keystroke that I have an AHK command set to open a web page. NOW, the button is not configurable ive unloaded the AHK macro and it does this: It appears to be a search function of sorts that also allows for navigation of "apps, documents, web, and moredrop down menu". The initial pop-up shows "top apps, quick searcheswhich includes weather, and top news", and at the bottom a search bar to type in. This is a DIFFERENT pop-up from when I open Cortana. Also when in a web browser ive tried edge, chrome, and firefox the button now enables the url bar to activate and be typed in without having to click on it. I'd very much like to know how to reassign this function, as I'd use it, but after years using this button on my mouse to open a web browser, it is quite annoying. Any assistance would be appreciated!

    :)

    mouse button opens a new search pop-up?

    stop middle mouse button from opening cortana/search


    Is there a way to stop the middle mouse button (i.e. click of the scroll wheel) from opening Cortana/search?

    Things I've tried:

    1. Searched Google. No useful results. The closest I found was that Windows 10 may be confusing the click of the middle mouse button as the 3-finger tap on the touchpad - which opens Cortana/search by the default. But I don't have a touch pad. I have the Toshiba PX30T (Toshiba Qosmio PX30t 23 inch Touchscreen All-in-One PC - Black/Silver (Intel Core i3 3120M 2.5GHz Processor, 8GB RAM, 1TB HDD, DVDSM DL, LAN, WLAN, BT, Webcam, Integrated Graphics, Windows 8 64-Bit): Amazon.co.uk: Computers Accessories).

    2. Tried re-configuring the middle mouse button in (a) Windows 10 Settings > Devices > Mouse & touchpad, (b) Control Panel > Mouse, and (c) my desktop's manufacturer's System Settings utility application (upgraded just now from their website). Interestingly, none of those three configuration tools had any control setting for the middle mouse button.

    It is obvious that Windows 10 doesn't "fully" support the wireless mouse that comes with my PC.

    My question then is...

    Is there a way to "unbind" the middle mouse button from opening Cortana/search? For example, via the Registry Editor - maybe?

    Thanks for any replies!
