Mouse wheel related operations don't work properly in Windows 8.1

Anonymous 11 years ago • updated by 11 years ago • 3

OS: Windows 8.1 x64 (New Installation)

Problem:
A) Enable change volume option using mouse wheel
B) Set focus on a different windows like chrom
C) Hover over the notification area and use mouse wheel.
D) Volume will not change

Note: Once you click on any empty area in taskbar, it will start working.
Note: Minimize/Restore when mouse is over is also causing similar issue

I cannot reproduce the issue.
Perhaps Chrome (you meant the browser, right? You wrote "chrom", which looks like a typo) is running as administrator?
Please see the following report:

Yes, You are right. Actually I found the problem earlier but forgot to update this issue. Actually, my autohotkey script running as administrator was opening the chrome and other apps as administrator. That was causing the trouble.

Now, I have disabled the Win key hotkeys using http://www.pctools.com/guides/registry/detail/549/ and now using AHK and 7+ Taskbar Tweaker as normal user. It solved my problem :)

BTW, Thanks for a great software. It save my lot of time.

PS: I am not a Win App developer so I don't how it works. But, if there is a workaround that allow 7TT to work with app running as administrator, please implement it.

Thanks
