Hi, my Os - Windows 10,
my mouse- hyperx pulsefire core,
mouse button configuration software - hyperx ngenuity software.
which Executable file or process is responsible behind running the windows homescreen ( not sure if thats the correct term, i mean the window we get after turning on pc/minimizing all apps and where all the content of "Desktop" folder is shown). I need to find that .EXE file/files to assign mouse button configuration preset to that .EXE file/files so that whenever i minimize my game window my mouse buttons preset would change back from the preset specific to that game into my normal tasking preset.
explorer.exe didn't work.

Explorer.exe is responsible for the browsing of folders, 'windows', desktop, etc.

do all games cause the mouse to be stuck on their specific profile or is it only a particular one causing the issue?

if this mouse doesn't detect that you are back on the desktop and revert to the default button layout when returning to Windows you may just be stuck having to manually switch to that default profile.
