Windows 10: Mouse wheel doesn't Scroll in Windows, Except:

I have a Razer Wired Mouse, and in the past I've been able to scroll in Windows just by hovering my mouse over a section with the Mouse Wheel.Now in Window 11 It seems that I must First click the area I want to scroll in first Before I can scroll with said wheel.This is a bit of a pain considering some Windows when you click on it it'll automatically runs whatever was under the mouse pointer, when all I want to do is scroll.Is there a work around? or is this just how the new Windows does things?Thank you for your time.

:)

• Click Start > Settings.
• Go to Devices > Mouse & touchpad.
• Under Choose how many lines to scroll each time, move the slider to the right to make the speed of your mouse wheel faster.

With regard to cleaning the inside of your mouse, you have to contact its manufacturer to get proper instructions.

Windows 10 not registering Mouse Scroll Wheel input

Hi, welcome to tenforums.

Suggest you try:
a. A different mouse
b. Safe mode (will use different driver)
c. Check inside mouse- dirt can get into mouse around the scroll wheel - I find cat hairs accumulate
d.Check the value of




"WheelScrollLines"="0" - probably disables scrolling.
