Windows magnifier shortcut in windows server 2012

In Windows 10, Windows magnifier works with ctrl + alt+ mouse scroll.

But it doesnt works with the same keys in windows server 2012. Any idea to make it work as in windows 10?

As you can see below, on Windows 10:

EDIT:

This is the auto hotkey code that can be used to achieve ctrl+alt+MouseWheel on Windows Server but Since Win++++ is also the shortcut key to open Windows Magnifier, it opens up magnifiers inside Remote Sessions which makes it very laggy.

^!WheelUp::SendInput, #{NumpadAdd}
^!WheelDown::SendInput, #{NumpadSub}

The magnifier works fine for me on Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials using the shortcut Win++.

You might be missing some system features. I have the following installed which might apply :

• User Interfaces and Infrastructure
  • Graphical Management Tools and Infrastructure
  • Server Graphical Shell

With the help of Auto Hotkey as suggested by @harrymc I achieved the same windows 10 like hotkeys on Windows Server 2012.

^!WheelUp::SendInput, #{NumpadAdd}
^!WheelDown::SendInput, #{NumpadSub}

Though it works perfect on host system, it opens up magnifiers when zooming in on RDP client windows operating systems as well.

So I'm looking to disable Magnifier on Remote Machines.
