Today I was trying to use my Apple wireless mouse on my Windows PC, after pairing the mouse using Bluetooth, it worked fine until I noticed that I couldn't scroll browser pages properly. Tried many ways but all failed. Did some investigation online and found a workable solution. This post will share my experience.
To enable mouse scrolling, there is a driver needed to be installed. First to go to Brigadier which is a Windows- and OS X-compatible Python script that fetches, from Apple's or your software update server, the Boot Camp ESD ("Electronic Software Distribution") for a specific model of Mac.
After downloading the brigadier.exe, can go to the folder where this file is located and then press Ctrl + Shift + Mouse right key, and click Open PowerShell window here menu.
In the PowerShell window, type below command
.\brigadier.exe -m MacBookPro14,1It will start to download necessary Apple drivers into a local folder, once the script finishes running, it will show Done.
Thereafter a new folder is created.
Next open the folder and go to BootCamp-041-89042\BootCamp\Drivers\Apple and locate the AppleWirelessMouse64.exe file and run it.
Once the exe is ran, it will tell you the driver is installed, and you will find your Apple wireless mouse is scrollable by putting your finger on the mouse and scroll up and down.
Is there any other solution around? Can share at the comment zone.
I have tried to download bootcamp directly from the Apple website, which didn't work. Using this method it did work. I'm scrolling happily now in Win 11 :)
Thanks!
