Windows 10: Is there any fix for random continuous auto-scrolling of windows 10 -- even when you turn...

This is the second year of my using windows 10 professional: was happier with windows 7 prof


But - I think windows has a bug/annoying side effect that just seems to pop-up again and again - with no source of the problem visible: that of windows /browsers scrolling automatically to last/first item randomly and repeatedly.


let me clarify -- even when i press the windows star button -- the cursor highlight keeps moving up and down -- makes it very hard to select a single item to click on.


Before someone tells me to reload mouse drivers -- I already did that multiple times :


I also navigated to the control panel, devices ... mouse -- turned off "auto scroll inactive windows when I hover mouse over them"


But -- the problem seems to keep repeating: that too within a minute or two: I open a web page -- and windows shows me the bottom! it just doesn;'t allow me to manually scroll .


I am so frustrated -- I would like to switch to ubuntu for just that!

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
