How To Enable Apple Magic Mouse 2 Scroll On Windows 10

I just tested a new Apple Magic Mouse 2 Mouse on my Windows 10 system and it worked perfectly but I was unable to scroll with the mouse, I then came across Brigadier by timsutton that helps us with the issue.

Adjusting The Scroll Speed

I notice when I scroll it's really too fast, So I have to adjust the speed of the mouse by going to Settings and changing Lines to scroll each time to 1.
