Windows 10: Horizontal Scrolling

I am having this issue where if I can hover over anything that can scroll horizontally it does that automatically without me doing anything. I bought a new mouse to see if that was the issue and it isnt. I have pressed the shift button and that stops it then if I release it keeps doing it. I have tried all I can think of all the cmd commands, all of the powershell commands. If anyone can help me with my issue I would gladly appreciate it!

Horizontal Scroll Jump

Agreed, have seen in the List Mode that the focus moves the view left to right or back depending on where the click occurred. The other Modes are straight-away lists of Folder then files with the vertical scroll bar, no horizontal scroll bar.

 

Horizontal Scroll Jump

Open a Windows 10 file explorer folder containing enough folders/files that, in List Mode, would cause it to display a horizontal scroll bar. Click on any file/folder residing in any column to the right of the left-most column. Instead of the file or folder opening, the click action produces a right horizontal scroll that takes said column one column position to the left.

This annoying behavior is several years old. I was hoping someone finally came up with a solution.

I've reproduced what you have described. In the first pic, the file I chose was in the right column. In the second pic, the file, and all items in the right column are now left. I believe this is due to the fact that when click the file chosen, focus has been set on that area of the display. The right "pane" of the first display is now what is in focus. That is by design, to the best of my knowledge. The way it should work. Windows has grouped as many in LIST mode as possible in as few columns as possible, and by clicking on a file in that area/pane, you changed the Windows focus to that area.
