Mike L, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better.
1) As per the sticker of the mouse itself (not from the Bug Description,
or the result of a terminal command), could you please provide the full
model?
2) As per the title:
"...on dual boot systems..."
is there some dependency on dual booting, where this issue only shows up
when using a dual boot versus not? Are you stating this happens in
Windows also?
3) Regarding your Bug Description:
>"Noticed this bug in 16.04 and earlier for who knows how long."
Did you personally test the mouse on a release earlier than 16.04? If
so, which precisely?
4) As per the sticker of the computer itself (not from the Bug
Description, or the result of a terminal command), could you please
provide the full computer model?
5) Regarding your Bug Description:
>"Installing the workaround package..."
Please state which package precisely (not expect folks to dumpster dive
URLs/guess).
6) Regarding your Bug Description:
>"...or removing the transceiver appears to be a workaround..."
Are you stating that you remove it and then plug it back in? If so, do
you have to keep doing this every so often, or is it good until you
restart?

Title:
Microsoft Mice on dual boot systems can scroll multiple lines at a
time.
Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Running Ubuntu 18.04. Noticed this bug in 16.04 and earlier for who
knows how long. See https://askubuntu.com/questions/47100/mouse-wheel-
scrolling-too-fast. Installing the workaround package or removing the
transceiver appears to be a workaround for the time being. Xorg should
automatically scroll normally, not multiple lines at time after
rebooting. Sometimes rebooting doesn't fix the issue. Askubuntu
mentions the bug dating back to Natty.
