Microsoft Mouse 100 middle click suddenly not working
I got a Microsoft Mouse 100 a couple of years back (2-3) and I have the habit of using middle click to close tabs, open links in new tabs, open multiple Explorer windows from the taskbar and so on.
Last night it all worked fine, I turned off my computer and today I turn it on again and I notice it's not working anymore. I haven't fiddled with any settings at all, it just stops working out of the blue. I tested the mouse on another computer and the middle click doesn't work there, but the mouse on the other computer uses the green connector and my PC doesn't have that and I've lost my green-to-USB thing so I can't test it to see if it's a problem on my PC or just the Microsoft Mouse 100's middle click is just broken and won't work again.
But at this point I'm assuming that it is, although it seems strange to stop working after I shut down and turn back on again (I tried rebooting, connecting to different USB ports, still no luck).
But then again everything else works fine - left click, right click, scroll up/down... That other computer had a similar problem, but the mouse there's middle click started working on its own, so I'm really puzzled what is it.
