Question: Q: No scrolling with a Magic Mouse in Windows 10.

Unfortunately, I still have to run Windows occasionally as some software for work only runs in Windows. I’ve upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10. Seems the scrolling capability in the Magic Mouse has «disappeared» in W10. Any suggestions to get it back?

did you install the bootcamp drivers required to use the various apple spec stuff after you installing w10 ?

if not do that, officially only win8.1 is supported so you have to hope the win8.1 drivers works otherwise you need to wait for next version of bootcamp

You just need to reinstall the Boot Camp driver for the mouse in Windows 10. I was experiencing the same issue and did a quick reinstall of just the mouse driver.

I already had a folder with the lasted Boot Camp drivers on my Windows drive. I just went to the folder, and then went to the path BootCamp/Drivers/Apple and double-clicked on the AppleWirelessMouse64 driver to install.

Just reinstalling the Apple Wireless Mouse driver didn’t work for me. However, I did a complete Bootcamp driver reinstall and that did the trick. It turned out that it was the Bluetooth driver I needed. For some reason before the reinstall Windows 10 wasn’t even listing Bluetooth devices in its Settings.

Thanks everyone! As Emma did, I ended up having to re-install all the drivers with Bootcamp.

Aug 8, 2015 12:31 AM

I did not update the drivers and directly installed windows 10(as there was this option comiing on the bottom right of my screen).

Then after installing i realised that the scrolling is not working.

I read everywhere that apple has released the drivers to support windows 10.

Does this mean i have to update the drivers and then again reinstall windows on my mac? i dont want to do that. its a long process.

Aug 23, 2015 7:24 AM

Now that the drivers are updated and support windows 10, what do i have to do so as to make the mouse scrolling work on my windows 10?

i have already installed windows 10 i.e before the bootcamp driver’s update were released by apple.

Why does every place I go to recommend this link? All they have there is «Open Bootcamp Assistant and download a 600Mb disc image onto a drive you need to format for this purpose»

How does that compare with «How to fix the mouse driver?»

All I want is a link to the download, not instructions on how to go to the store to buy a new flash drive, come home, boot to my Mac and create an installation partition, download the Windows ISO and and and and. i just want the drivers. Is there no way to get the drivers only?

Question: Q: MagicMouse2 not scrolling in Win 10 Bootcamp

Has anyone got a resolution to this. I have tried various. Only thing I find that works is Magic Mouse Utilities which you can trial for 30 days. I have tried the ‘brigadier’ fix and also installing the drivers from the latest bootcamp. Anyone got any tried and tested resolution?

Thanks in advance

• What is the year/model of your Mac (do not post the serial number)?
• Can you elaborate on the scrolling issue?

Apr 30, 2020 10:55 AM

its a 2019 MacBook Pro. So the mouse connects via bluetooth fine and I can operate the mouse with mouse movement and left and right clicking. The issue is there is no scrolling with the mouse. As I eluded to earlier, the mouse works in all aspects with the Magic Mouse Utility.

The issue is only on Windows 10 bootcamp, it works fine on MacOS. Hope this is the information you were after.

Is the MM2 recognized as a three-button Mouse by Windows?

May 1, 2020 5:42 AM

I know ‘what’ you mean but not sure how to determine that.

May 3, 2020 6:24 AM

Check in Windows Settings or Windows Device Manager.

May 3, 2020 8:46 AM

please see attached from Device Manager and Bluetooth settings.

Is this configured as a three-button Mouse?

May 4, 2020 11:10 AM

the only info I can see is what I put in the screen shots above unless you can advise where to look.

May 4, 2020 1:08 PM

Do you have the Apple Multi-Touch driver installed? On my Mac, it is working properly, and I can scroll, by moving my fingers up and down the glass surface.

May 4, 2020 3:49 PM

it doesn’t look like it. See attached pic. Both show the same.

May 7, 2020 5:23 AM

Do you have any other Mice connected to the Mac?

May 7, 2020 4:16 PM

I have had a USB connected to it previously but currently there is only the Magic Mouse. I currently have Magic Mouse Utilities (MMU) installed which I am using the trial version and it operates the mouse as it should ie with the scrolling. When this is turned on (I have been disabling it for trouble shooting), what I have noticed is that I get the attached in dev man. Also if I disable MMU after the mouse connects and is working fine, the mouse will continue to work fine until next re-boot and then I only get the mice as per my previous posting. So it looks like it is definitely the lack of the ‘on Apple Muti-Touch’ driver that is missing unless I have MMU activated.

May 8, 2020 3:37 AM

Temporarily uninstall/remove MMU, install the Apple Multi-Touch driver and test.
