    Whenever I open folders through a different app or website, I am unable to scroll through folders with the mouse wheel. I am only able to scroll once I click. I am able to scroll in folders from the folder app, but not when it is opened through another application. I am able to scroll on every other applicati

    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

    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.

    Cannot Scroll in Folders

    Quick Access not searching Pictures folder

    Summary, that last suggestion didn't work.

    • I moved the pictures to another folder temporarily.


    • Since there were no troubleshooting steps for this scenario, just for the heck of it, I ran through the restore steps. Copied some pictures into the Pictures folder, ran a Quick Access search and initial problem remains: Searching all of QA doesn't find any files in Pictures folder, running search on just the Pictures folder does. I want to run a global search and find matching files in any/all of the Documents, Music, Videos, and Pictures folders.
    That article dates from 2015 and I'm guessing is out of date. I hope it didn't create potential future problems in my registry.

    Bottom line: I'm still looking for a fix.
