Respect Windows integrity boundaries when a remapping utility cannot inject into an elevated application.
If the side button works in ordinary apps but not an elevated copy, privilege isolation is the differentiator.
Reproduce the symptom in a simple Windows surface and record exactly when it occurs: Remapped side buttons stop working only in a program running as administrator.
Run the target app normally and elevated while watching raw mouse events and the remapping utility state.
Prefer the mouse maker’s driver-level mapping or avoid unnecessary elevation; only run a trusted remapper elevated when its documentation requires it.
Keep every unrelated setting fixed and repeat the baseline for longer than the normal failure interval.
Prefer the mouse maker’s driver-level mapping or avoid unnecessary elevation; only run a trusted remapper elevated when its documentation requires it.
Elevated remapping software can inject into administrator applications; use only trusted software and least privilege.
A one-variable comparison shows whether the proposed mechanism actually controls the symptom and preserves a safe rollback.
AutoHotkey. Windows blocks lower-integrity processes from injecting input into higher-integrity applications.
