Windows 10: Scrolling stopped working with Windows apps

- Windows 10 Home, My last update was KB4592438 on 12/26/2020.

- Built in Windows apps stopped scrolling and the computer stopped going into sleep mode. Scrolling with non microsoft apps seems unaffected. The scrolling issue is with both the keyboard and mouse.

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

 

can't find all the apps in windows 10..please help !!

if your looking ,then you must know what the program is called ,if it really hurt that much to have to scroll through a list to find an app, then just do what paulsalter suggest
