  1. Mouse side buttons not recognized after an update


    So, I updated my Windows 10 before I went to work and just started up my PC again. The side buttons on my mouse, which I use to go back and forth when browsing the internet, are not recognized anymore. Not only are they not working, but when I attempt to go into the mouse settings on the control pannel, the buttons do not show up at all. I'm not sure what to do.

    :)

    Problems with KB3194496 update not recognizing bluetooth mouse

    Hi,

    We would suggest you to update the driver of your mouse.

    To update your mouse driver, follow the steps below:

    • Make sure that your wireless mouse is connected to your PC.
    • Click the Start button, type "device manager" in the search box, and then select Device Manager.
    • In the list of hardware categories, look for Mice and other pointing device and double-click on it.
    • Look for your mouse name and right-click on it and select properties.
    • Once your mouse tab appears, select Driver and click
      Update Driver, and then follow the instructions.

    If that does not work, we recommend you to download the latest drivers from the website of your mouse manufacturer and install it manually.

    Let us know how it goes.

    Microsoft ARC touch mouse USB dongle is recognized as ARC keyboard on windows 10.

    Hi,

    To further isolate the issue with your touch mouse being recognized as keyboard, we'd like to know more information:

    • Is it one USB dongle for the mouse and keyboard?
    • Have you tried any troubleshooting steps to resolve the issue?
    • Did you make any changes to your computer prior to this issue?

    We suggest checking the article below to help you resolve the issue.

    Update a driver for hardware that isn't working properly

    Thank you.

    Mouse side buttons not recognized after an update

    Apple Updates iMac

    "The stupid mouse only has one button"
    "That's what you think, look again"

    Then I step in.
    "oh, look at that, Apple is at it again with their inability to make things easy to recognize."
