I think you can replace that portion of the procedure by starting your search for
"regedit" in the search portion of the taskbar. My work laptop is the only
Windows machine I have available and it's been updated to Windows 11. Barring that, I
think regedit can also be found in File Explorer at C:\Windows\regedit.exe. However you
find it, I believe you'll need to right click it and choose "Run as
administrator". The rest of the procedure should be the same. I've done this on
4 or 5 Windows machines in our lab at work so far and so far it's worked for all of
them.
It amazes me that Windows still retains the serial mouse support. I don't think
I've seen an actual serial mouse in more than 20 years.

Here's the directions since it was somewhat
non-intuitive. I created a Confluence page at work but everyone asks me to disable it
each time the problem crops up.
