Windows 10: Why is the scroll bar in Windows 11 so narrow? In what world is this an improvement?

I wish I had blocked the forced "upgrade" to Windows 11.

Why is the scroll bar in Windows 11 so narrow? In what world is this an improvement?

The "improvement" is that in Windows 11, you don't have to put the mouse pointer on a scroll bar in order to scroll an app. Just rest the mouse pointer anywhere on the window, and scroll the scroll wheel.

This is particularly handy when you are working with two (or more) open windows. Just move the mouse pointer onto another window and scroll that window with the scroll wheel. No need to hunt for a scroll bar.

 

TPU review scroll bar

I was wondering if there was any specific reason the buttons to scroll down the list of reviews was stuck in the bottom left-hand corner? Whenever I want to read reviews, I always have to move my cursor and aim it at a small arrow that scrolls the reviews... I'd suggest that instead of making the arrows small and in a corner, it would be better placed to the sides of the review bar.

Something like this (yes, I know it's crappy but it took 5min to make):

 

Scroll bar too narrow

Hello John,

We appreciate your time and effort for getting back to us and I apologize for the delay in responding.

I would like to inform you that you wont be able to make changes in the Scroll bar. It is by design.

Use the Windows Feedback app to tell us which features you love, which features you could do without, or when something could be better.

• Go to Start , enter the phrase Windows Feedback, then select Windows Feedback.
• See if someone else has given similar feedback by entering the topic, such as Microsoft Music.
• If you find similar feedback, select it, add any details, then select
  Me too.
• To narrow your search to a specific category, pick the category that most closely matches your feedback (so it gets to the right people quickly). For example, for feedback about the Music app, select Apps > Music.
• If you don’t find any similar feedback, select New feedback, and choose a topic from
  Select a category and then Select a subcategory.
• Enter your feedback (the more details the better!), add a screenshot if you can, and you're done.
  

For further assistance related to Windows feel free to post your queries in Microsoft forums. We will be glad to assist you.

Thank You.
