Windows 10: Taskbar and settings app scrolling by themself

Something seems to be causing my device to scroll up on certain apps, for example when I right click explorer in the taskbar it scrolls up through the list of frequent and pinned folders, right clicking the films and tv app scrolls through my recent videos. In setting the menu on the left scrolls up and it won't register any clicks because of the scrolling, the same thing happens in Game Bar. Even when I click start it scrolls through all my apps and programs forcing me to hold ALT+F4 to shut down. It doesn't happen in folders in Windows Explorer, or Microsoft Word, or Google Chrome.


I have unplugged my mouse and keyboard and this still happens, I don't have any controllers plugged in.

Taskbar Scroll Bar Removal

Hi Nick,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

Follow the below mentioned steps and check if it helps.

• Right-click on an empty area of the Windows taskbar. Click to clear the checkmark from the "Lock the Taskbar" option if needed.
• Then right-click an empty area of the taskbar, and then select "Properties."
• Click to place a check in the "Group Similar Taskbar Buttons" box. Click "Apply" followed by "OK" to confirm the changes. This option combines multiple instances of the same application into a single taskbar button. If this does not remove the scroll arrows,
  continue to the next step.
• Hover your mouse cursor over the border between the Windows taskbar and the desktop until a double-arrow icon replaces the standard pointer.
• Click the taskbar border and drag it upward to double the height of the taskbar. Any icons on the second row will be displayed, and the scroll arrows will vanish.

Keep us posted for any concerns with windows, we're glad to assist you.

 

Problem with a combine taskbar icons.

Hello,

In Windows 10, you can personalize the settings of your taskbar. If there are multiple applications opened, same applications will be combined under one taskbar button. If you want to change this setting, we suggest that you follow the steps listed below:

• Press the Start button.
• Click on the Settings app.
• Select Personalization.
• At the left side of your window, click on Taskbar.
• Under Combine taskbar buttons, choose Never.

Kindly update us with the results and if you have further queries, feel free to post back.

 

Windows Settings broken scrolling.

Tried safe mode (no internet) and get this when going to app settings.





Try resetting the settings app. In the start list find Settings and right click - More - App settings - reset.
