Disable Magic Mouse scrolling in Windows 8.1

Question

I have a Windows 8.1 machine (Mac Mini, boot camp), and an Apple Magic Mouse.

Is there a way to disable both vertical and horizontal scrolling, or at least horizontal? The mouse seems to have a mind of its own.

Answer 1

Try to use regedit to go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop and set WheelScrollChars to zero.

Ensure that you have installed the right drivers from bootcamp with procedures similar to those described in the following posts :

• Install Apple’s Magic Mouse Drivers on Windows 8
