I used to run AlwaysMouseWheel to fix up focus scrolling, but forgot to set it up after my last reinstall. Thanks for the reminder! :)

As for the other stuff, ugh. I've made it a general rule not to work anywhere where I don't get root on my own box.
This is no longer needed in Windows 10.
My main work desktop is still on 8.1 and will probably remain so. Laptop is 10 and yeah, no issues there.

What is industrial alpinism?
I go up a rope or down a rope. Up a tree or a building, down a building/wall or a well. Do some tree trimming, sometimes construction tasks. Mounting stuff disassembling stuff, sending it down, or up another rope. Fun stuff.
Do an internet search for TreeUp.
I think it means workers who, for example, climb on industrial chimneys for maintenance.

Basically anywhere where you're paid for your alpinist skills. Mounting/dismounting things up there. There was an example like cleaning up the walls of an old fortress from grass.
But before I did that, the one-before-the-last place I've tried to work was this hostile environment where everything was Windows and MS-based, as far as what we were meant to use for work. I couldn't bring my own lappy.
I ended up writing an AutoHotkey script that would get mouse scrolling about 80% sane and manage my clipboard.
I set up a VM on our HPC cluster, on which I'd do my actual work by way of VNC and sometimes SSH. The LAN was OK, so it ended up being less laggy than Windows on my local machine.
But I suppose a local Q frontend to a VM hosted on my work lappy would have worked too. Virtualize the AV away, yeah.
Cheers.
