    Desktop scrolling/tabbing


    Windows 10 Ver 20H2 build 19042.964 10 year + Mac user defecting (back) to windows. Very impressed. I use a logitech ergo mx. Dual screen set up. On my mac the scroll wheel was programmed to tab or scroll through the desktops (I like to maximize the apps). I have set it up on my windows 10 machine to move to the next/previous desktop BUT both monitors scroll when I do it. This defeats my purpose: the reason I think I need 2 monitors is so that I can do work (write, essentially) on one and research, read, on another using the clipboard to bring stuff from one monitor to the other. Is it possible to change a setting or get an app or theme that will decouple the desktops on one monitor from the desktops on the other. Thanks!!

    :)

    desktop is not listed in Ctrl+Tab toggle

    Thanks for the suggestions, DaveM121 and NikhilPosting.

    @DaveM121 - I have GForce Experience 3.7.0.81, and I can't see a ShadowPlay feature.

    @NikhilPosting - I know Alt-Tab very well: this is precisely where I have an issue! the actual desktop is not listed among the thumbnails!

    Window + Tab seems to be merely a variant of Alt-Tab - and it returns the same result: desktop is not listed among the thumbnails.

    Thus, the issue endures...

    Desktop scrolling/tabbing

    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
