Mouse Wheel Zoom Stopped Working (solved)

[linecrafter]

I'm making this thread to help others, the problem is solved

Problem:
I encountered an issue with the mouse wheel zoom in and zoom out not working specifically in flight and in the map view. The problem drove me nuts for three days. 

Solution: 
The solution was to delete the settings.cfg file (booting up the game creates a new one) or to simply reset settings in the game. I believe this worked as steam does not touch settings when verifying files and does not reset settings once you re-install the game.

What didn't work:
Clearing input locks in alt+f12
Verifying game files
Removing all of the mods
Re-installing via steam
Tried checking the settings.cfg for a fix from https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/topic/197063-scroll-to-zoom-not-working/ but didn't help as well
Removing processes in task manager related to input (stuff like input mapper and razer software)
Tried three mouses, two wireless and one wired
Tried different game saves
