I want to say a HUGE thank you for this. Spent about two weeks trying to figure out why I couldn’t pause a video and this was the solution. Stupidly I even reinstalled Windows to no avail. Seems the mouse settings were what I needed to fix. Googled everything and just found this.
Can’t seem to find any info anywhere about how the horizontal scrolling should work and how to set it. Devices > Mouse Properties > Horizontal Scrolling only shows the “number of characters,” but I don’t see where to change the wheel from Forward/Back to horizontal scrolling.

Windows 10, Microsoft mouse: I like using the wheel to “roll and scroll”. But I inevitably and unintentionally press the wheel downward, which enables “move mouse up or down to scroll”, and disables “roll and scroll”. I want to completely disable that “move mouse up or down to scroll” feature, but don’t know how to do it. Any ideas?
Yes, they fixed it up real nice, now the wheel can only be used to enlarge (temp as always) the picture if I press he control button simultaneously. Again making nice simple things more complicated.
Thank you! We will update this article soon and hopefully we’ll answer your question. In short, you cannot configure the extra buttons directly from Windows 10’s settings. You can do it with the software offered by your mouse’s manufacturer, or with a third-party app such as X-Mouse Button Control.
I beg to differ- in Windows 10, you cannot configure every little detail of how your mouse works.
Feel free, somebody, to show me where in Windows 10 I can now alter the behaviour of the middle-click- for instance to turn it back into a middle-click instead of emulating the Windows key on this P.O.S Lenovo rubbish I’ve been landed with.
helpful article but not for me. I just want a BIGGER cursor – hard to find sometimes on the screen because it is so small. You use to be able to customize your cursor, but not anymore. I do not like this feature on Windows 10
This doesn’t show me how to do what I did in Windows 7 that I really want in 10: how to set the mouse to open icons with a single click instead of a double.
i up grades to windos 1 its nice but some times my pointer roles the page to the bottom and wont work for a couple seconds than is eratic i fight with it and win but it slows me down a lot i tryed looking at setings and nothing seemed right any ideas?
My mouse has three buttons and a scroll wheel. Because my left click is kinda touchy I changed my right to primary, that’s fine. My side button functioned as a ‘back’ button, I normally have it as the ‘right-click’ but windows ten won’t let me change it’s function but will still use it as a back button.
I like Win10 over Win8 in that it now resembles a desktop again and not a tablet OS. However there are a few things that are frustrating about it, such as lack of privacy, subscription software (more of an MS gripe), removing popular tools like Media Player and the one thing that fries my eggs… when I click the back button on my mouse, it closes everything to show the desktop, instead of performing the back button function in the browser. Microsoft is messing around too much with the little things that made our user experience smother, easier and more practical.
cant get my mouse to work. Went to settings, device etc and look at my settings for mouse and all looks ok but when I click ok or apply nothing happens. please advise since this happened after the download of windows 10. thanks lots.
I’m using a Toshiba Satellite C675 and once I upgraded to Windows 10 and reconfigured the mouse and touchpad appropriately, the mouse does not work for drop-down menus and scrolls down uncontrollably in some applications (spreadsheets and media player) and windows (computer list of files and folders). Have tried every suggestion with no success. When I remove the USB mouse, I am able to control the scrolling and make selections from a drop-down menu. It is very inconvenient and I’m hoping for a fix soon!
I can’t get the mouse (actually trackpoint) buttons to switch and stay switched; or be switched consistently (sometimes it won’t be switched on Internet/Chrome). I HATE MICROSOFT and never wanted Windows 10. Can I go back to Windows 7? Will never buy anything from Microsoft; can’t stand them.
Can NOT scroll using mouse wheel after installing Win 10. It worked just fine before. Tried changing settings, and always hit “Apply” and “Ok”, but it still does NOT scroll. I HATE having to to go side of pages to scroll.
Okay… it looks like plenty of people are having significant trouble with mice and touchpads – myself included – and I don’t see Microsoft posting any answers. The normal “fix” does not work for any of us… so what now? In order to get any functioning whatsoever I had to switch left/right mouse button but have no features normally on the right button – no copy and paste, can’t create shortcuts, change icons or anything. I could use it this way but it’s ridiculous to have to do that. Besides, this is a family laptop and not everyone is computer saavy enough to use keys to get to Control Panel when it automatically switches right/left buttons and nothing, including the keyboard, actually works.
Has anyone figured out a solution to this. My zoom feature on touchpad is out of control and it never fails I forget to change the settings at start up and accidentally zoom to unreal, unrealistic levels.
I am having the same problem as reported above – after the 10 upgrade, after I go in and configure the Touchpad, all the settings revert to default upon the next start up. It is Synaptics. Any suggestions on how to fix?
Help! I upgraded to Windows 10 and lost the use of my touchpad. I was finally able to use a mouse to download a touchpad driver to get the touchpad to partially work. My problem is the right click button on my touchpad won’t allow me to copy and paste anything. I can now highlight text with the left button (thanks to the tip to uncheck “clicklock”) but when I right click to copy and paste that text, it simply unhighlights it. How can I restore the right click function? I now have the option to “Roll back the driver” but I’m afraid to apply that because I finally got the touch pad partially working and don’t want it to rollback to Windows 10 when it wasn’t working as that option wasn’t even displayed when I first uploaded Windows 10. This has been incredibly frustrating. The Toshiba site identifies my laptop as being compatible with Windows 10. Thanks for any help you can provide.
I just bought a new ASUS for school that came preloaded with 7, but with the option to upgrade to 10. Before the upgrade, I could scroll by dragging two fingers across the touchpad. The update appears to have removed that option, and the settings do not appear to have a way to make this happen.
I appreciate the link with the advice. There is a lot of great information but unfortunately there isn’t anything on the page that relates to my issue. I cannot find a setting that allows me to use the touchpad to scroll. The touchpad scrolled before the upgrade to 10 but now it does not.
Please if anyone can help. I have a Toshiba, I up graded to windows 10 and my touch pad stopped working. Ive managed to get the curser on the screen again and moving but my touch pad buttons are still not working, and I don’t own a mouse.
The “Additional mouse option” isn’t an option for me. It is light grey and I cannot even select it. My touchpad doesn’t work after about 30secs of windows being open. Is there any way to fix this. I’m on husbands laptop who will be heading back to work tomorrow so if anyone can help asap I’d really appreciate it.
Have now fixed the problem.
Go to settings, devices, mouse&touchpad, additional settings, ELAN, enable the touchpad, click apply (with mouse or touchscreen not touchpad) , hardware, double click touchpad in options list, change settings, driver, roll back driver, click okay and restart your computer. Hope this is clear enough.
Just updated to windows 10 and cannot use my touchpad isn’t functional. The pointer does not appear on the screen. I had a similar problem as this once before when upgrading to windows 8.1 but this time I am unable to fix it.
HELP!! After upgrading to Windows 10, my mouse wont work as a mouse… If i click the left OR right buttons on my touchpad, the mouse scrolls. I can no longer use the mouse to select, resize, drag and drop, or any functions that I find to be normal. It’s so frustrating. Any idea how I can fix this problem?
So the way i finally got back to my old system was getting to settings, selecting whichever folder has backup, update, or recovery. I dont remember which thing its under from there (in case you cant tell i blissfully found my way back already) but one of them (i think under recovery) has a separate button for going back to your old operating system. But hurry. It says the option is only available for a month after the upgrade. This is will keep it from restarting all way back to your very first system. You have to be plugged in and they ask why youre leaving but then after a fairly quick update youre home free.
I have the SAME problem. I just updated and now I can’t use my mouse much even after reactivating some options! I’ve tried restarting and again have to tick off mouse options. Most of the options I need are already ticked off so I don’t understand why I can’t use my mouse normally. I’m pissed off as this has rendered my laptop unusable at the speeds I need for university and life!
Figured it out! I have a Toshiba so I went to their support site and downloaded the latest Elan Touchpad and now I’m back to normal. Well, I only restarted once so we’ll see after a couple more restarts I suppose!
Updating to windows 10 is the wrost. I haven’t been able to use my computer in 2 weeks. So frustrating I’ve tried all above methods nothing seems to work. How do I reset upgrade. Where is this located—>Open up regedit.exe
This works 🙂
Open up regedit.exe
Navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWARESynapticsSynTPInstall
Note this is LOCAL MACHINE, not CURRENT USER.
Look for a key in that Install folder called DeleteUserSettingsOnUpgrade
Double click and change the value to 0
Im really irritated with the new update. I have a Asus and like an idiot decided to let it upgrade to windows 10 the night before the first day of school. I let it update over night so when i woke up this morning and tried to operate it i was sorely confused. Beyond the odd new layout and the weird set up was the fact my mouse didnt work. I could move it at the log in screen but once i got to my account it wouldnt even show up. I looked through several help sites until i finally found one that showed me how to turn it back on. I was crazy happy to be able to move my mouse again, but its useless considering the fact it wont click on anything. I cant find anything that tells me how to fix it. I wish i had never bothered with the update.
I think the rollback drivers for the mouse under device manager is the best solution. I have an Asus too and I did roll back my drivers and i can use my mouse again. Go the device manager, look for the drivers for mouse, click properties, drivers and you will see the option that says roll back drivers. Click on it and let it ask you to restart your pc. Do just that and the mouse function should come back on.
I also have an Asus and did as you said to fix my touchpad and mouse control but now every time I close my laptop when I open it back up there are Google Chrome windows opened with like 50 tabs opened in them, have you had this problem?
I also have a Toshiba laptop, upgraded to Win 10 and lost function of mouse. I can tab to control center and activate the trackpad (EACH TIME I TURN ON THE PC) but the buttons do not work……what is interesting, everything works fine until I put in my password and Windows opens up. I left the PC world for Mac a long time ago because of stuff like this….please help.
Anyone know how to make the twin touch on a touchpad turn into scroll up/down? It acts as a right click now instead of a scroll. It is currently killing my life
Ok so I have a Toshiba laptop, updated It to windows 10 and I changed the setting where It makes a delay with your mouse when you press a keyboard button but It doesn’t go away and it stays the same even though I changed the setting to no delay (always on).
I have an Asus G751 laptop and when I set the mouse to be left handed, the touch pad tap becomes a secondary click action instead of remaining a primary button action. Is there a way to flip the buttons but leave the touch pad tap to behave normally as Windows 7 used to do?
the mouse scroll function won’t work with this upgrade. once i shut down the computer and then turn it back on, all of the settings revert back to the original. it does not save any settings. DO NOT LIKE WINDOWS 10.
WORST UPDATE EVER!!!!!
So how do i change what the ‘mouse scroll’ button does? it’s a Microsoft mouse and you’ve made the mouse scroll also a button, but yet you’ve not given us the option to use it? Trying to simplify settings too much? Why not make it activate the Task View?
I hate tap…I take it off and everytime I shut down or even just close the laptop while live it puts it back on. Cant find any info to fix this. Really really frustrated with this. About to go to Mac soon!
Touchpad on Windows 10 is incredibly frustrating, as with another comment I had fixed my settings to deactivate the double tap and hovertap options on the pad preferring to tap the mouse when needed but started the laptop today and it had reverted to much annoyance.
I just updated to Windows 10, and now my trackpad is pretty much unusable. If I actually “click” the primary button on the trackpad, it doesn’t work properly, but if I just barely touch the button, it actually selects things or highlights EVERYTHING. I made sure the click-lock is off, but it won’t stop. It has caused me to accidentally send emails and makes pretty much any task unbearable.
Updated to Windows 10 and when I change the mouse properties for Synaptics TouchPad V 7.5 on PS/2 Port to scroll – that dialog box has an active “apply” button, but the earlier one for mouse properties does not have “apply” enabled. So, the setting works until I close down and the setting is not fully applied, I must reapply with each start up. How can I make this apply even after shut down?

Excellent resource! Very detailed and easy to follow.
But it’s all for naught, because every time a win10 computer restarts, or updates, all the mouse setting change back to some default.
None of the fixes online work.
Microsoft needs to get its fucking act together!

How do you turn off the volume control with the scroll wheel. The DPI button does nothing. This is getting really annoying. I suddenly miss Windows 7.
It’s really useful thank you
Thank You. Your info helped me greatly as I am NOT tech smart.

Yes, they fixed it up real nice, now the wheel can only be used to enlarge (temp as always) the picture if I press he control button simultaneously. Again making nice simple things more complicated.
How decrease mouse sensitivity? stop hover action?
Read the “How to change the mouse sensitivity” section from this guide.
in bionic manager my mouse scrolls the page horizontally.
right side scroll bar is missing.
Really good article with very detailed explanations, thanks!
However, I’m still unclear how do you configure a mouse that has more than 2 buttons?
Thank you! We will update this article soon and hopefully we’ll answer your question. In short, you cannot configure the extra buttons directly from Windows 10’s settings. You can do it with the software offered by your mouse’s manufacturer, or with a third-party app such as X-Mouse Button Control.
How do I change from 2-click to 1-click for selections in Windows 10?
I believe you’re referring to File Explorer’s “Single-click to open an item” option. You can find out how to enable it here: Four ways to open files with a single click, instead of a double-click, in Windows.
This does not help anyone. Useless.
Why do you say that? What information were you looking for? Maybe I can help?
You can configure every detail and the wheel still does not work in settings.
I beg to differ- in Windows 10, you cannot configure every little detail of how your mouse works.

I have a Toshiba Satellite with windows 10. I’m using a Microsoft wireless mouse 3500. How can I get the wheel to double click?
You might be able to do that from the Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center.

i upgraded from windows 8 to 10 and 2 days later my cursor will not stop blinking. how can i stop this it is driving me crazy.
I cannot click on anything without a working mouse keypad. I have no plug in mouse. I am using a borrowed pc.

I have same problem with settings going back to default at every start up, very annoying. Need a solution
You have to go through the device manager and roll back the touchpad driver and it will work fine.
