Windows 10: My mouse extra button didn't work after reinstalling windows 10

Before i reinstall windows my mouse extra button on the side is working correctly for game and other use, but after i reinstall windows 10 the button didn't even work when i press it

Windows lost mouse extra buttons (Sidewinder X8)

So, today while gaming I noticed my Sidewinder X8 thumb buttons weren't working anymore. Then I double checked in Windows and they didn't work there either, neither did DPI-buttons or the extra "Game"-button the mouse has.

I've tried with 2nd Sidewinder X8 I have to make sure it's not an hardware issue.

Steps taken so far:

- Unplug & plug mouse again

- Uninstall and reinstall Mouse & Keyboard Center

- Manually remove the mouse & drivers from device manager and then reinstall

- Several reboots etc

I'm quite confident it has to be Windows-issue and it's for whatever reason treating my mouse as if it has just 2 buttons + wheel(+wheel button)

Windows Settings still recognizes it's Sidewinder X8, as does Mouse & Keyboard Center

 

Chrome/ App didn`t start

Hi,

Thanks for your help but... it didn`t work, I get the same error...

I would like to try some more solutions before reinstalling the Windows, so if you can assist me a little bite more... ... it would be highly appreciated.

Mouse buttons non functional after 5 or 10 minutes.

This past couple of days I've been reformatting and re-installing windows and tweaking my partition sizes. However, yesterday evening, after finishing loading up Windows XP and in the middle of loading my programs my mouse buttons just stopped working for no apparent reason.
The cursor movement works just fine but the buttons are non responsive.
I reformated and reinstalled windows again this morning thinking everything will be fine but low and behold during my program load up the buttons packed up again after about 5 or 10 minutes.
Any ideas?
