How to make scroll wheel zoom work in Windows 10 with Creo Parametric

I had a very difficult time finding a solution for this. I opened a call and PTC said Windows 10 wasn't a supported configuration. Fortunately a curious co-worker discovered the fix. Not having zoom with the scroll wheel was a show stopper for me. Here's how to make it work as before:

1. Select the Start button

 

2. Type "mouse & t" in the search area and press Enter

 

3. In the Mouse & touchpad settings dialog select the toggle for Scroll inactive windows when I hover over them until it displays Off.

 

4. Launch Creo Parametric and marvel at mouse wheel zooming

temporary, set mapkeys.

I have it for the function keys F2 and F3: Zoom in and out respectively

mapkey zi @MAPKEY_NAMEZoom in;@MAPKEY_LABEL>Zoom in;\

mapkey(continued) ~ Activate `main_dlg_cur` `ProCmdViewZoomIn.view`;

mapkey zo @MAPKEY_NAMEZoom out;@MAPKEY_LABEL>Zoom out;\

mapkey(continued) ~ Activate `main_dlg_cur` `ProCmdViewZoomOut.view`;

mapkey $F2 @MAPKEY_NAMEDefine Zoom box;@MAPKEY_LABEL>Zoom In;%zi;

mapkey $F3 @MAPKEY_NAMEZoom Out;@MAPKEY_LABEL>Zoom Out;%zo;

I'm having this same problem with my wireless M590 and the above solutions did not work but I have the other culprit to my problem which solved it and though I would share:

 

If you are having trouble zooming in Creo with mouse wheel go to control panel>hardware sound>mouse and click on the "Wheel" tab and set the option in the vertical scrolling area  "one screen at a time" this solved my problem.
