    Description

      Starting from HyperV in 24H2 (and now that ATAPI driver works on HyperV), the vertical mouse movement on NT5.2 and older guests OSes is inverted (scrolling the mouse down moves the cursor up and viceversa).
      The issue could be solved installing the Integration Services on the guest OS but currently it's not possible on ReactOS due to ACPI and HAL incompatibilities.
      Community users that uses XP on HyperVM makes use of SakasaMouse that inverts the movement to compensate the issue.
      ReactOS technically could detect the presence of Hyper's VMBus and inverts the coordinate automatically without having to rely on third party apps.
      (another issue will track the Integration Service issue)
