Windows 10: Surface Dial horizontal scroll

Is there any way to get the Surface Dial to scroll left/right horizontally?


When you're in Settings --> Devices --> Wheel, the default tools have a vertical scroll which is great for things like browsers but I need a horizontal scroll tool (for things like audio/video editing).

Lost Horizontal Scroll after Creators Update in OneNote 2016 Only


I'm part of the IT team for a medical college. All of our students have i5 Surface Books. They're slowly getting the Creators update.

We now have 2 students that have mysteriously lost the ability to scroll horizontally in OneNote 2016. This is the 2-finger track pad scroll gesture. They can scroll vertically just fine. They both report no issue before the update.

What I've tested:

• Other user on another computer with the Creators update can scroll horizontally.
• Admin (other) user account on same computer cannot scroll horizontally.
• Repairing the Office 2016 install does not fix the issue.
• Uninstalling and reinstalling the Office 2016 install does not fix the issue.
• All other Office apps (Word, Excel, etc.) allow for horizontal scroll.
• Other user on another computer without the Creators update can scroll horizontally.
• Toyed with Track pad settings in Windows such as disabling and re-enabling scrolling in general.
• Rebooted the machine (always have to mention that )
• Tried a new notebook in OneNote 2016.

Anyways, if you guys can suggest anything else or other forums I can investigate at, let me know. It's not a huge priority issue. They can scroll horizontally using the touch screen itself, but if this starts happening to a lot of them it could become more of an issue.

I'm thinking maybe it's time to dive into Device Manager, but since it works in other programs, I don't see how it would help. I thought maybe AppData files could be causing this, but the local Admin account had the same issues.

Thank you in advance!

 

Horizontal Scroll Jump


Open a Windows 10 file explorer folder containing enough folders/files that, in List Mode, would cause it to display a horizontal scroll bar. Click on any file/folder residing in any column to the right of the left-most column. Instead of the file or folder opening, the click action produces a right horizontal scroll that takes said column one column position to the left.

This annoying behavior is several years old. I was hoping someone finally came up with a solution.

 

Arc Touch Mouse Surface Edition - How to Horizontal Scroll?

I suspect the mouse, but still not 100% sure...

So, all through the support call, I was referring to the Arc Touch Mouse Surface Edition... they even remoted onto my Surface Pro, checked the settings, etc... seeing it was listed as the Arc Touch Mouse...

And what do I get in the post? The Wedge Touch Mouse Surface Edition! (Which, I can confirm, 'does' work with horizontal scrolling as you'd expect - stroke finger from left/right on the pad)

So, personally, my problem is solved, in that they've now sent me the one that 'does' work with horizontal scrolling - however, I'm still none the wiser on the Arc Touch Mouse itself!
