    Small scroll bars left on screen


    Good evening.

    I have multiple small scroll bars on my screen whenever I am done scrolling on a page. If I hover over the scroll bars with the mouse, the 'busy' windows thingy spins around. All my drivers say they are up to date. Picture attached. Any help on how to get rid of these things.....

    The red bar is to show the location of the page on the screen. You would need very, very small fingers to use the red bar, right? You can use the whole screen to scroll up, down, left, right. Don't worry so much, just play with it. :smileywink:

    You have misunderstood this feature:

    Screen size: Full

    doesn't mean that the whole screen is used,

    but that the screen is showing a little part of the webpage and you can move the screen over the webpage horizontal and vertical via scroll bars.

    Screen size: Small

    means that there will be no horizontal scroll bar and you can scroll vertically over the webpage.

    Maybe this sounds confusing.

    Try both Screen size: Full/Small with webpage
    www.hp.com     and you will see the difference

    Looks like they're from a Synaptics touchpad? I'm thinking try double tapping the scroll area off the top of my head, but I'm drawing a blank if that is correct. They're definitely from your touchpad though.

    Edit: I mean double tap the actual area on your touch pad, not the little bars you see on your screen.

    Edit 2: If my suggestion didn't fix it, there's apparently a way you can disable the feature from your touchpad settings, look for "Virtual Scrolling" in there.

    Disregard the above. Sorry for that, I was basing this off having used Windows XP/7 with a touchpad. In Windows 10, I presume you can go into Settings - > Devices - > Mouse and touchpad - > Double Tap and Drag (turn this off).

    I will try it out. Somehow, I reverted back to Windows 7. I thought I was reverting back to an earlier build of Windows 10, but it went back to 7. Ugh. I will let you know how it works out.

    Just an update: It seems I no longer have this problem after reinstalling Windows 10.
