Mouse back/forward button only works when hovering on top of browser

After some updates, my mouse side buttons could not navigate a page to go back or go forward when the mouse is located within the page. However, when I hover my mouse on top of the browser (including the favorite bar, address bar, and tabs), it works just as normal. I have tried this with different mouse and it all behave the same way. Strangely, this only happens with Edge.

    Hello, I'm Greg, here to help you with this.

    If it only happens in Edge and happens with other mice, then the problem is Edge.

    Try these fixes for Edge until one works:

    If nothing there works then to be thorough, try all of these steps for mouse in Windows 11:

    Feel free to ask back any questions. Based on the results you post back, I will have other suggestions if necessary.
