Resizable Windows 10 Start Menu and Vertical v. Horizontal Scroll

Dear Mx. Manohar,

Your canned response does not address the question that is asked here in this thread repeatedly.

Specifically:

How can we get horizontal scrolling of the START screen back?

I have multiple reasons for this:

• I have a wide-screen laptop. Scrolling vertically is at cross purposes to my using the horizontal "real estate" available.
  
• Vertical scrolling is counterintuitive; it's like looking at a Web page that goes on and on and on instead of paging through a book (horizontal scrolling). I do not read books, newspapers, e-books, or anything else as if it were on a long roll of toilet
  paper. I move left to right. I do not design Web sites to scroll on and on.
  
• Accessibility is poor with this layout. I have arthritis. Horizontal scrolling is much more user friendly. A quick swipe in 8.1 took me to the end of my Start Screen Groups. The touch screen in 8.1 was a godsend to those of us who have used computers
  for years and years and must be efficient and careful--or who have arthritic problems of any kind. With Windows 10, I have to use much uncomfortable swiping to move through the vertical icon layout. The screen is much less responsive in the Windows 10 vertically
  scrolling layout. Painful. It forces me to use the mouse more and the touch screen less.

So again, how do I go back to horizontal scrolling? Can you please address this part of the question? Thank you for considering this query.

 

Why does rotating mouse wheel result in horizontal scroll instead of vertical scroll, after 12/2017 Windows 10 update

I don't know if the problems is Edge or the way a site is coded, but after the 12/2017 Windows 10 update when I am viewing a web page and want to scroll down and I rotate the mouse wheel I get horizontal scroll. I am using a PC and not a tablet or phone.

There is no mouse setting via Start, but the one in the Control Panel for Wheel Option the lowest number for Horizontal is one (1),

and its description states "Tilt the wheel to scroll the following number of characters at a time".

Is this a new "feature" for Windows 10 computers?

If so, how do I control the vertical versus horizontal scroll when using the mouse wheel?

 

Horizontal and Vertical Scroll bar behavior difference in Touch

In windows 10 Tab, It is observed that sometimes( when focus changed to another window) vertical scroll bars are generating WM_GESTURE message while scrolling the thumb of scroll bar( In normal case Mouse events are captured). But in the case of horizontal
scrollbar, WM_GESTURE couldn't generated. What is the reason for this behavior...?

Thank you in advance.
