I have a new mouse - roccat kova. It's good but one problem is that mouse settings get reset to default whenever I turn my computer off.

I am able to find out how to actually make the registry changes using the windows scripting host so that I can set it as a startup task each time windows loads, but this leaves an obvious problem - as far as I'm aware registry changes usually need a reboot.

Well a reboot is just going to undo the changes so I'm back to square one.

Is there a way (preferably in script, so I can automate it) to change registry settings and have them be applied to the device they correspond to in the current session? I want to set mouse sensitivity to 6 (from the default 10) and swapleftrightbuttons to 1*

(I know the roccat has a built-in swap buttons feature, but that also swaps the side buttons - I don't want that)

Changing registry values does NOT require a reboot, they are "applied" immediately. Unless some program is reading these values at boot, there's no reason to reboot just for changing a registry value.

Usually registry changes are applied right away, except if the process only reads the registry when starting. So you will have to find the process that makes the mouse work. You could also try restarting the file explorer process, by opening the file explorer (so you can find it) and restart it in the task manager by right clicking it and pressing restart.

(the name of the driver is 'swarm'. You could find more details here. I could'nt access the site unfurtunately and will update when i can.).
