Seems it may have been mouse hardware-failures coincidence. Got second mouse to work after more tries.

Due to the rules in China for computer use, it may indeed be difficult to bypass or change as it was done by the manufacturer to be compliant. One of the strongest two methods to make a change is –
1) find group policy settings (GPO) and when you learn which affects default apps, handlers, and extensions for browsers, then set those policies locally on your PC.

start and advanced CMD or Powershell, (Win+x) and use it to open mmc.exe.
Ctrl+M then scroll and find Policy, choose this local machine as its option.
Configure the Policies you want to be enforced for your PC.

These may override the settings China pushed to your computer.

2) find the file and path of their program and break or redirect it.
Ctrl+Alt+Del, more details, details tab (or is it Processes tab?), right-click the column headers, click select columns, find Command Line, and check the box to make it display.

Find the Chinese 360 and you’ll see its directory and file (as well as any command line parameters which is neat but not needed for this).
Close the program and then replace the exe with a chrome.exe or firefox.exe that uses the same filename. So when your computer tries to open 360, it is opening something else but disguised with the same name.
No guarantees this will work but I’ve sometimes defeated some malware with that trick substituting notepad or safe program for the bad one.

Its nice to see a security vuln reporting standard. Please don’t forget that secalert(at)companyname.com is a proposed IETF standard too (since 2002)
