Windows 10: Mouse scrolling irregularly

I have a problem with my mouse not scrolling properly using the mouse-wheel. There is scrolling, but it is irregular, especially when scrolling down a page. When doing long continuous scrolls, turning the mouse-wheel initially produces the desired effect, but then part of the same movement there might be an interruption in the scrolling or even a reversal of the scrolling, and then some more correct scrolling.


At first I thought this might be a hardware problem with the mouse, so I exchanged it. The problem remains.


I also have a second pc, and that has the exact same problem. One pc is a Lenovo ThinkCentre with Win 10 Pro and a wireless mouse, the other is a HP Probook with Win 10 Home and a wired mouse. Both have fully up to date versions of Windows.


The problem seems to have arisen on both pcs within the last week or so.


I have checked for driver updates – both pcs are reported to be running the most recent version of the driver, which is dated 2006 really.


The problem is quite irritating, so any helpful suggestions would be much appreciated.


Thanks,


Andrew

How do I change scroll direction of a mouse NOT listed under Mice?

Thanks; yes, those are great directions and did work to change the direction of the wired mouse that came with the computer. But the mouse I'm using doesn't show up as a mouse in the hardware list, so I can't follow the rest of those steps. I need the mouse to appear on the list of mice in order to complete this sequence.

 

Mouse Scroll Jumps

Hello Nate,

It is possible that the Vertical Scrolling is set to a higher numeric value. To assist you with your concern I would suggest checking the Vertical Scrolling to isolate the issue. Just follow these steps to isolate the issue.

• Press the Windows key and go to Settings.
• Click Devices and go to Mouse.
• Click on Additional mouse options.
• Click on the Wheel tab.
• Put a bullet on Roll the wheel one notch to scroll and change the numeric value to 2 or 3 (Depending on your preference.)
• Click Apply, then OK.

Check if this will resolve the issue.

Let us know how it goes.

Regards.
