Windows 10: How to stop scrollbar snapback in Windows 10?

Hello, friendly people. In some windows but not others, most notably in the Windows 10 file explorer, the scroll bar will snap back when your cursor leaves its range. What I mean by this is that if you click and drag the bar, let's say from top to bottom, and then allow your cursor to go beyond the bottom of the scrollbar's range, the scroll bar will snap all the way back to where it was rather than to the point to which you had dragged it when your cursor left the range. In other words, I can't quickly flick the scrollbar down to the bottom without pinpoint precision. The scrollbar just won't go anywhere unless I very carefully drag and place it at its bottommost position and then release.

I don't recall ever having this problem before getting this new computer and Windows 10. I can't find any settings for this or any help online. Does anyone how to fix this? How do I make the scroll bar stay where I left it if I drag beyond the scrollbar's range?

Thanks in advance.

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

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?

 

Making scrollbars more visible in Windows 10

Thought I'd post a solution to this issue that works to my satisfaction. I installed the free WinAero Tweaker app. Under Advanced Settings > Scrollbars, you can change the scrollbar width. Making the scrollbars wider makes the scrollbar handles much more visible. I hated having to mouse-click the scrollbar area to (maybe) see the scrollbar handles which were a very, very light gray.

I tried other suggested tweaks - changing scrollbar handle color in the registry, etc. - but none of them worked. I'm happy with the WinAero fix.
