Touch-pad middle click

[Daniel0312]

Hi
My touch pad is configured in windows to emulate a mouse middle-click.
It works fine in windows, but not in XY.
Is there a setting I'm missing ?
Thanks

There are no special settings. XY shouldn't even notice that the click is coming from a touchpad

Well... that's what I thought, but it's a fact !
I just checked again just in case.
3 fingers tap is configured to emulate a middle-click » it works fine in my browser or in excel, not in XY
2 fingers tap is for right-click » works fine everywhere

I believe you but can't help.

I just plugged an USB mouse and middle-click works just fine.
Has anybody out there met the same situation ?
Is there a workaround ?

Edit :
I've found something... when XY is started as user, it works !
Problem is when XY is started as admin (all the time).
Does it help ?

Now... Start your Browser / Excel as Admin. And?

@highend
I did what you suggested and... indeed (of course) I lose the 3 fingers tap (except in my browsers that are portable and "may" be force started as user).
So this is a windows behavior : is there a way around it (without starting XY as user ) ?

[highend]

Try other drivers for your touchpad?

[Daniel0312]

I've just tried with updated drivers, just in case... same.
Now that you helped me pinpoint the cause, I'll try to dig some more.
thanks @highend

I've been using Clavier+ for many years very rarely have had a problem . It makes use of keyboard shortcuts which can be linked to your individual programs. https://gryder.org/software/clavier-plus/?lang=en

can also be elevated if a problem.
Hope this helps you.

@Mazot Thank you for you suggestion, I'll have a look.
But I want to avoid using shortcut keys : I'd like to use XY the same way on my desktop and laptop computers (fingers memory ).
But you gave me an idea : maybe AHK could be of help...
Merci

update :
I haven't had time for extensive testing, but it seems remapping 3 fingers-tap to middle-click with AHK does the trick.
