XMBC & SmoothScroll Sleep Resume

Sleep/Resume Automation Overview

Windows workstation sleep transitions often drop active input hooks for utility programs like X-Mouse Button Control (XMBC) and SmoothScroll, rendering keybinds and scroll-modifiers inoperable until manual application restarts.

Scheduled Task Solution

A local PowerShell script triggered by Windows Event Viewer (Event ID 107 - system resuming from low-power state) cleanly terminates hanging processes and relaunches XMBC and SmoothScroll:

Stop-Process -Name "XMouseButtonControl" -Force
Start-Process -FilePath "C:\Program Files\Highresolution Enterprises\X-Mouse Button Control\XMouseButtonControl.exe"
