Hello,

If you want to enable smooth scrolling in Edge, kindly check out these methods and see which helps best:

Method 1: Right click on the Windows start button to start in the context Menu

What is smooth scrolling?

Hi Kenneth,

Smooth scrolling is a feature available in Internet Explorer that allows you to scroll through a web pages smoothly, as the name of the feature suggests. If this is turned off, when scrolling through a web page, you'll notice that the scroll
bar slides down as if it's slightly delayed, but if this is turned on, the scroll bar slides down smoothly, without delay.

This is useful when scanning through long web pages or articles.

To turn on/off smooth scrolling, see the following steps:

• Open Internet Explorer, click the gear icon, and then click
  Internet Options.
  
• Click on the Advanced tab.
• Locate Use smooth scrolling, and tick the check box if you want it turned on/off.

Let us know if you have further questions.

 

No smooth scrolling on Windows 10

Here's a couple settings I found, which you can tweak in Windows 10 to create smoother scrolling throughout the entire OS:

1. Method #1: Right click on the Windows start button to start in the context menu and follow these steps: System > Advanced System Settings > Advanced > Performance > Settings > Uncheck "smooth-scroll list boxes" > Click "Apply" > "OK" > "OK."
   
2. Method #2: Open Control Panel > Mouse > Wheels tab. Here you can change the figure from 3, to 2 or even 1 if you wish. This will make any page or document to scroll 1 line at a time. If you change this setting, it would be changed system-wide, ie. for your documents as well as browsers.
   
3. To accomplish browser-only smooth scrolling, try the following:
   
   • Chrome: Try the SmoothScroll extension - https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/smoothscroll/nbokbjkabcmbfdlbddjidfmibcpneigj
     
   • Firefox: Try the SmoothWheel extension - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/smoothwheel/?src=search
     
   • Opera: The same developer for Chrome's SmoothScroll extension made a SmoothScroll extension for Opera, but I can't post more than 2 links because I don't have 10 reputation yet.
     
   • Internet Explorer: Open Internet Options > Advanced > Browsing > Select the check box next to "Use Smooth scrolling" > Click "Apply."
     

I hope this is helpful.
