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?

MacBook Air, OS X Yosemite (10.10.4)

    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.

     

    You can get the latest drivers at this link: System requirements to install Windows on your Mac using Boot Camp - Apple Support

    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.

    Hello.

    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.

     

    Thanks

    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.

     

    Thank you.

    System requirements to install Windows on your Mac using Boot Camp - Apple Support

     

    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?

    Yes, you can get the drivers for your Mac using BC Assistant. This is for El Capitan.

    You can also use Brigadier - https://github.com/timsutton/brigadier - and download the DMG with the drivers for your specific Mac Model Identifier. The Mac Model Identifier is shown in System Report -> Hardware.
