Lenovo trackpoint scroll not working in metro apps
Title says all. Windows 10 build 10074. The Lenovo Trackpoint driver is loaded and appears as a tab in the Mouse settings in Control Panel (it was automatically installed by Windows update, not by me). The Trackpoint center button scroll on my Thinkpad X61s works fine in standard desktop programs as well as the control panel. But while the scroll icon appears when I press the center button and try to scroll, it will not actually scroll metro apps, the start menu or any settings app that was re-written as a metro app.
I'm on 10074 but it has been like this since the first build. I keep waiting for them to fix it but I am losing hope. This is a deal breaker if W10 never gets this fixed.
Anyone have a workaround?

I found the way of installing ultranavi driver to my X61 which doesnt have ultranavi pointing device but only trackpoint.
Now I can use trackpoint scrolling on Windwos10 startmenu and metro apps including Microsoft Edge browser!!
1) install ultranavi driver : http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/downloads/ds103517
2) During installation, it is rejected to install driver but it's ok.
3) open device manager, select trackpoint and search new driver. It is important not to search automatically nor via internet but select driver on PC (use disk search option).
4) My windows10 is 64bits so I selected the folder C:\DRIVERS\WIN\UltraNav\WinWDF\x64
5) go installation (select Synaptics Pointing Device!! in may case ThinkPad Pointing Device cases problem of startup process of Windows) and restart pc.
6) Property of mouse now shows UltraNavi tab instead of TrackPoint tab and touchpad is gray out but trackpoint works including chage of setting.
There exists a possibility that only above-mentioned specific driver works but I suppose this way can be applied to some old ThinkPad without pointing device but only trackpoint device.
