Issue with Automatic Scrolling in Drop Down Menus and Certain Windows

Hi,

Ever since installing Windows 10, certain windows will scroll automatically to the side and/or down to the bottom as soon as I move my mouse cursor inside of said windows.

It occurs in rather peculiar places. Here are some notables ones:

• The left-hand navigation bar of the basic Windows Explorer window scrolls to the bottom.
  Strangely, this doesn't occur in the main part of the Windows Explorer window.
• Drop-down menus on websites, such as the one featured here, scroll to the bottom:
  
  https://www.lg.com/us/support/repair-service/schedule-repair
• In Yahoo e-mail, if the e-mail is wider than my window, it will scroll to the right.
• Notepad: if my typing extends beyond the width of the window, allowing the option of scrolling to the right to read it all,
  it WILL scroll to the right all by itself.
  Strangely, it won't do the same thing for scrolling down.
• In Google Chrome as well as Microsoft Edge.
  

I've tried 3 different mice - Logitech, Radioshack, and a wired mouse - it is not a mouse issue. I've uninstalled and reinstalled drivers. I've also booted in Safe Mode, and the problem remained.

Another issue is that oftentimes, drop-down menus won't even stay open for longer than a split-second. For example, the drop-down menus listed under the making of this post ("Category," "Windows topics," etc.) won't stay open long enough for me to click
on any of the options. Weirdly enough, not all drop-down menus misbehave in this way; the other ones have the scrolling issue, as mentioned above.

I'm very frustrated with this problem. I've worked around it for months, but I'd prefer to not have to. I really would like a fix. What do you suggest?

Thank you

 

Drop Lists in Win10

I have several applications that use drop lists that no longer work with the mouse in Windows10. Using the mouse left click does not activate the list of options. Sometimes, you can click in the field and use the keyboard down or up arrow to see the list
options but that is not always the case. On the same machine, using Excel 2013, I can create a drop list and it works perfectly. Any suggestions?
