Windows 10: Has there been a definitive fix to the windows system menus not scrolling? I'm adding...

Running 2025-01 Cumulative Update for Windows 11 Version 24H2 for x64-based Systems KB5050009Dell XPS 8940I've tried several of the cleanup suggestions from the support pages with the same lack of success the others are having.Very frustrating for someone who started in the 80's with windows 3!

Continuous scrolling in system menus - not documents etc though

Putting the mouse in menus (start menu or drop down menus) when I scroll down it scrolls itself back to the top again. I've read the various suggested fixes, and tried them- even ones that don't apply ( this is desperation). Its not a hardware issue. Because I've swapped mice and USB wireless dongles, and disabled the keyboard. Also it doesn't happen within documents. But it does happen with my start menu and printer list. And when I tried to change mouse scroll settings it instantly scrolled up to the max number in the number of lines settings I've made sure the setting for turning off scrolling unused Windows is off. Or whatever it's called- as recommended. I've run DISM and SFC. I've booted into safe mode. And I've also done a clean restart. I've checked this applies to both users on the PC. I've done a system restore. And since I couldn't uninstall the last Widows update (because I couldn't scroll the list)I did a reimage from Macrium to a version from two weeks ago- the problem started within the last 48 hours. I'm at a loss to think of what else to try. All the various suggestions in threads I've seen on the internet run out at this point. It's making my PC very difficult, if not impossible, to use. e.g I have two printers. If I want to switch from the default to the other in the list, then the list scrolls itself to the top, which is "print to file". This does not happen in pages of documents or web pages. I can scroll up and down in this post, no problem, and the web page that contains it. Only in system elements (e.g. longer or drop down menus) After Macrium reimage I have; Edition Windows 10 Home Version 22H2 Installed on ‎09/‎09/‎2021 OS build 19045.2965 Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.19041.1000.0 Though this is presumably the version from a couple of weeks ago. it will have been the most recent version, before that.

Feature suggestions - move to proper menus, add Options window

Suggestions:
1) Remove main menus from top left menu (system menu) and move them to a standard Windows menu, at the top.
Leave the 6 system menu items (Restore --- Close) in system menu, move all the rest to that standard main menu. The main menu can be auto-hidable - pressing Alt key to invoke it or hide it, similar to the way IE11 menus and many Windows 10 built-in apps' menus work.

2) And/or, add an Options menu or button, which would invoke a separate screen with GPU-Z Options, similar to how most Windows apps work.
Most Windows apps have a separate Options screen, which GPU-Z lacks - one should be added.

Thanks in advance for listening!

 

Remove ads from Start Menu

I understand that you wanted to remove ads on your start menu. These ads are shown as “suggestions” and “tips”. It appears while using your computer either your Windows 11 Notifications or any various places like the Start menu, taskbar, or default apps.

To disable this feature, please follow these steps:

Press Win key + I > Select System on the left side menu of the Settings page> click Notifications under the System> On the Notifications settings, scroll down to the bottom and toggle off "Offer suggestions" on how I can set up my device and "Get tips and suggestions when I use Windows". Restart your device and check if the issue is fixed.

I hope this is helpful. If you still have the same issue, please let me know and I will gladly assist you.
