Button not working
The middle mouse button not only serves you the purpose of scrolling your screen
to browse the internet or a document file but also serves many ignored shortcuts
which are built in. Probably we will not go deep into it.
Many cases have been reported regarding the middle mouse Button not working
error. The middle mouse Button not working error is the weirdest error people
encounter while scrolling with their mouse. The issue is usually with the system
more than mouse itself.
You are working on your pc and realize that the middle mouse button is not
working which makes you use the arrow keys or the PgUp and PgDn buttons. But
if you have a habit of using the mouse, at some point of time you will definitely get
irritated and due to this irritation you ultimately reduce the yield of your work and
put yourself in a lot just because of a little cruel mouse.
So not to worry much browsing for various solution which may or may not
conquer your problems up to your expectations as we are here with some basic
and best yielding solutions to fix your problems.
1)Check Your Mouse in another PC
The error of middle button not working may arise due to many reasons.
Some reasons behind the error may be due to the hardware problem. To
specifically locate the issue, checking the mouse will make sure that the
mouse is in the working state or not. Generally it happens that we do a lot of
technical things and try to work on the software to make that start working
but this ensures us that there is no problem in the software but it’s the
mouse which actually needs to get repaired or changed.

2. To check the mouse, unplug it from your PC and connect it to another PC. If it
doesn’t works that means you need to change or repair it and if it works and
then you should try the other methods given below.
2)Edit the Windows Registry
The incorrect mouse settings in the registry editor on your computer can also
cause the middle mouse button not working error.
To fix this issue,

Else many driver updates can be easily downloaded by different drive
software.

The built in feature of the windows may help you fix the problem. The
troubleshoot basically works on the principle that it changes the
compatibility of the higher version of windows to the lower ones.
