Windows 10: How do I lock number of lines the wheel scrolls?

How can I lock the number of lines the wheel scrolls. I want to reset the default (11 lines) but when I reset it - default kicks back in after a while.

I have this problem when I am on line viewing a page - like when I am reading my e-mail or filling out a form.

I have Miscrosoft Office 365 ProPlus


I try to reset the default by going into my laptop

Settings

Devices

Mouse

Choose How Many lines to scroll each time (roll the wheel)


It seems the default is set to 11 lines - that is WAY to many lines when I am attending to carefully reading a page. I want to reset the default to 4 (four) lines.

I sometimes need to reset this 3-4 times a day. I don't know why it flips back to default when I have been using my laptop all day. It's not like I shut is off and turned it on after a few hours - so it is rebooting when I turn it on.

Scroll wheel intermittant scrolling up

I can scroll down continuously but when I try to scroll up (towards the top of the page by pushing the wheel away from me) using the scroll wheel the page moves up a little then stops. When I continue to scroll up the page does not move. If I scroll down
then up the page may move up a few lines then stops. I see this in Firefox and Edge and Excel. I see a similar response in a graphics program that zooms the window using the scroll wheel. I believe this has started in the last month or so.
