Windows 10: Can anyone tell me how to properly control scrolling in Windows?

No matter what program I'm in on my desktop computer, Windows always tries to "help" me by scrolling up and down when I'm working on a file.

You might think that even if Windows had literally NO idea what it was doing, it would choose the correct direction to scroll about 50% of the time.

But in fact, it guesses right only about FIVE PERCENT of the time. It's nearlyALWAYS wrong.

Moreover, it very frequently scrolls up and down even when I don't want it to scroll at all.

This has been going on for YEARS. And I've tried EVERYTHING to fix the problem - even reinstalling Windows from scratch several times. But all to no avail.

This is MADDENING. I want this to end NOW, and I want it to endPERMANENTLY.

I would just buy a new computer, but that's not cheap, and what guarantee would I have that the same problem wouldn't just keep repeating itself?

Can ANYBODY help me with this unending nightmare?!

Thanks for any help.

Feedback: All Apps Start menu does not scroll properly when folder is expanded

I would like to report a bug in the scrollbar handling for the All Apps list in the Start Menu. When you expand one or more folders in the All Apps list the scrollbar does not track the mouse properly.

Duplication steps:

In the Start Menu click All Apps

Scroll down to the Windows Accessories folder and click on it to expand it.

Now, using the mouse, click and hold on the scrollbar button then scroll back and forth to the top and bottom of the list.

The mouse does not stay on the scrollbar as you scroll. In order to scroll all the way to the top or the bottom. You have to release the mouse button and click and hold again to scroll all the way to either end.

Most likely this occurs because the scollbar maximum property is not properly set when folders are expanded.

scrolling bad

New event. When placing cursor over a list or row of columns, even the volume bar scrolling is automatic and proceeds to one end of the series and stops. The scrolling also stops when I move the cursor away from the list but am unable to select anything in the list. Not all the possible lists are effected. Other sites have recommended mouse/kb fixes. Have tried all those but the phenomena persists. Have not had any known updates recently and don't have a restore point to try. Any other suggestions? W10Pro 1903
