Windows 10: Problem with Files Scrolling automatically when the pointer is placed within the pane.

Problems with the Files Menu scrolling and unable to select files and folders that I want.

The files I want, just seem to scroll out of reach.


The image below illustrates what happens when placing the cursor over an opened file and attempting to edit.


The window slides left whenever the mouse pointer is within the pane.


Problems with other programs such as Google Sheets moving to the left whenever the cursor is placed within the pane.


Problems with Paint 3D expanding to 3600% when I open a document to edit.

How to get horiz scrolling in Navigation Pane in Win 10 Explorer

Welcome to TenForums @linuxgarou

One suggestion would be to hover the mouse over the dividing line between the navigation pane and the list of files (it's the right-hand edge of the navigation pane's vertical scroll bar). When the pointer becomes a double-headed arrow you can click-and-drag to make the navigation pane wider.

I have mine set to about twice the width of the one in your screenshot.

Edit: and so apparently does Ztrucker in the following post.

 

Scroll Speed of Navigation Pane in File Explorer

Hello,

Your suggestion doesn't work (I've tried it as well before asking this). I set it to 3 lines but it only scrolls one line instead of 3 in navigation pane. I then tried setting it to 6 and it scrolls by 2 lines instead of 6.

I've decided to use the Home/End keys to quickly scroll up and down in the left panel, it just takes too long with the mouse wheel since I use a ton of shortcuts and mapped drives.
