Windows 10: Really big problem with scrolling

In Windows 10, the right hand bar moving the screen up/down has partially stopped working. I cannot click and hold down the bar for rapidly moving the screen up/down any more. I can use the up/down arrow to move the screen up and down but it's pretty tiresome on a long screenful. I primarily use this when browsing. I normally use Brave. But all browsers I've tried, don't work properly except Firefox. Also. this sidebar still works in my email clients, Postbox and Mailbird. Selecting anything from a dropdown menu is also an impossibility.

Also. I don't know if it's my imagination or not. But when using File Explorer with a lot of folders open, which is normal for me. As soon as I put my cursor on the File Explorer display, it scrolls down the screen to the end, or until I move my cursor off of File Explorer. I don't recall 100% if that was the behavior before this happen. But my feeling is it wasn't doing that before. I had to actively click, hold down, and scroll up/down. IIRC. Also I cannot stop scrolling the screen so I can choose a folder farther down the screen. Which seems odd, also.

In a SpreadSheet, after loading, the spreadsheet automatically goes to cell AMJ1, and keeps going back there. Making spreadsheets impossible to use.

I usually keep any software, windows & apps, up to date when notified by the software.

I'm at a complete loss how to fix this.

scrolling bad

New event. When placing cursor over a list or row of columns, even the volume bar scrolling is automatic and proceeds to one end of the series and stops. The scrolling also stops when I move the cursor away from the list but am unable to select anything in the list. Not all the possible lists are effected. Other sites have recommended mouse/kb fixes. Have tried all those but the phenomena persists. Have not had any known updates recently and don't have a restore point to try. Any other suggestions? W10Pro 1903

Windows 10 1709 System Restore problems...

That seems to be an attempt at Option 2 in the tutorial, which requires you to
a. Boot to a command prompt (Did you?)
b. You then seem to be mixing steps 3,4 and 5, thus your command is incorrect.

I suggest Option 1 is easier.

If you still have problems, please repost listing each specific step and saying which option from the tutorial you are using. Thanks.
