Latest Microsoft Edge released for Windows

The new overlay scrollbars are now available in the stable version (93), to enable them you have to add a command line flag to the target field in the properties of the shortcut:
--enable-features=OverlayScrollbar,OverlayScrollbarWinStyle,OverlayScrollbarWinStyleAnimation

Full path:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe" --enable-features=OverlayScrollbar,OverlayScrollbarWinStyle,OverlayScrollbarWinStyleAnimation

I cannot make it work either, I do NOT have "Startup boost" enabled.

Oddly, my Edge is installed at "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application"
as opposed to C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Edge\Application
and yet it reports as:

Microsoft Edge
Version 93.0.961.38 (Official build) (64-bit)

I cannot see that causing the Overlay Scrollbars feature to not work though.
Anyone got any other suggestions please?

How to change the Microsoft Edge scrollbar color

Original Title: windows 10 scrollbar color

Is there a way to change the light color of the scrollbar in Windows 10? I'm using Edge and it is hard for me to see the scroll bar. The fixes I found online are for computer programmers. I'm a basic computer person. Can someone give me an easy step by step
solution?

Microsoft Edge Insider preview builds are now ready for you to try

Ok I made some more changes in Flags, and can again change sound effects in Sonic Studio.
I'm not sure which setting it was, as I made a bunch, but not looking for a solution for that problem, but to try some other stuff out.

It might work because I disabled something.*Smile
It might work because I enabled something.*Biggrin
It might work because I set something back to Default.*chuckle

I don't care, because it might get broke again either by Edge, by Chrome(the backbone) or by Nahimic*Confused
