Windows 10: scroll speed when selecting text

When I am selecting text, to copy and paste it, and I drag the curser so that I can get the screen to scroll down to select more text, the screen moves too fast, if I am even somewhat slow it will reach the bottom of the article or web page. This leads me to be unable to selectively select the text I want. How would I go about making this scrolling/highlighting text speed slower? So far, I have only been using Microsoft edge with a Rog Strix computer.

:)

 

Menu Scroll Speed is very slow.

I was wondering if there was a way to increase the scroll speed of the menu's in Edge. I just switched from chrome and it takes forever to scroll in a menu in edge.

NOTE: This is not a corrupt file issue. It scrolls just is really slow.

I use a lot of drop down lists that are very long. It literally scrolls less than 1/4 the speed that chrome does....

Any suggestions?

Changing the arrow cursor might have caused the problem if it was the only change made prior to the issue. Have you tried to undo this change? If doing so doesn't make any difference, you may try the following methods to resolve the issue:

Method 1: Run the Hardware and Devices troubleshooter.

• Right-click on the Start menu and select Control Panel.
• Type troubleshooting in the search bar and click on
  Troubleshooting.
• Click on Hardware and Sound > Hardware and Devices.
• Follow the steps from the wizard to run the troubleshooter.
  

Method 2: Uninstall and re-install the mouse driver.

• Right-click on the Start menu and select Device Manager.
• Expand Mice and other pointing devices.
• Right-click the device name and select Uninstall.
• To re-install the mouse driver, select Scan for hardware changes.

Method 3: Change the mouse scroll speed through the Settings app.

• Click the Start menu and click on Settings.
• Go to Devices > Mouse & touchpad.
• You will see a slider. Use it to set how many lines the scroll wheel should skip at a time for every scroll. Simply hold and drag the slider to the number you want.
