  1. Trackpad scroll speed much higher in some applications than in others


    I've had the following issue for quite some time now:My trackpad scroll speed is perfectly fine when I'm scrolling through word documents or while using edge, chrome etc.But for some other applications, the scroll speed is way higher which makes it basically unusable for me.This is the case in MS Visio, UiPath Studio and some more applications which I do not remember at this moment.I changed no settings in these apps, I don't think there's app-specific scrolling speed settings available at all.Still, a slight move of my fingers results in three pages of scrolling in these apps.I've searched th

  2. Trackpad Scrolling Problems In Creators Update

    I love the Creators Update-- it has a good amount of features that are applicable for me on my Surface Pro 4. However, trackpad scrolling has just been completely obliterated. It's really been a nightmare. Here's the problems I'm experiencing:

    • Scrolling in applications that support smooth scrolling have been slowed down to about half the speed, resulting in too slow of a speed. In order to offset this loss, I must set the number of lines scrolled to a higher number, but now applications that
      don't support smooth scrolling go way too fast!

      Someone told me on Reddit that previous to the Creators Update, trackpad scrolling directly manipulated scroll bars on legacy applications. Now, mouse scroll events are sent to the application. This explains another problem-- applications that don't support
      horizontal scrolling don't scroll horizontally any longer. The previous method of scrolling really provided a better experience. Is there any way to revert to the old ways?
    • Some Java applications(Eclipse and IntelliJ confirmed) have super glitchy trackpad scrolling(I assume due to the previous point). While you moving your fingers on the trackpad, some of the graphics freezes up. Using a mouse to scroll or flinging on a trackpad
      does not produce this issue. Here's
      a gif
      of what's going on. I'm thinking that the problem is a flood of events, thus preventing repainting. I don't know what the source code of Eclipse looks like, but that's just my idea. Perhaps I'll run a profiler later to see just how many events are
      firing.

  3. Precision Trackpad Scrolling Broken Since Creators Update

    This is a revival of
    this thread
    . It was locked for an unknown reason, despite the issue clearly still being relevant.


    Ever since over a year ago when the initial Creators Update dropped, scrolling on precision trackpads has been a hot mess. The effects of the update include:

    • Certain applications experience extreme stutter while scrolling with a precision trackpad(example). The graphics seem to only update when
      there is a decent break in between scroll events.
    • Applications such as Windows Explorer, Notepad, Notepad++, etc that would have normally scrolled line-by-line at a fast rate now scroll several lines at a time(depending on the value in Settings>Devices>Mouse) at a slow rate. This leads to much less precise
      scroll that you would expect from a precision trackpad. Windows Explorer has since been specifically fixed in the Fall Creators Update, but all other applications are left in the dust.

    It's been said that the reason for these issues is due to precision trackpads now using mouse scroll events, in contrast to the previous method of directly manipulating scrollbars just as touchscreens do. While it does seem to make sense to use actual scroll
    events, the previous method of scrolling provided a vastly better experience.

    This thread is meant to be both a question and a suggestion. The suggestion being to revert back to the old method of scrolling. The question being, is there any (even hacky) method to restore old precision trackpad scrolling functionality? It's been over
    a year now, and it's been thoroughly frustrating to not have any fix for this.

    Trackpad scroll speed in chrome

    Post upgrade to windows10 I've noticed my trackpad scroll moves at light speed and have tried to change setting but does not have impact. Surprisingly so far this issue is limited to chrome browser. With microsoft edge browser there is no such issue. I
    have lenovo yoga from 2006. Does anyone have same issue and knows how to solve this
