    Windows explorer - How to disable navigation pane auto scroll


    Hi,

    The issue I'm facing in my work laptop (Windows 10) and in personal laptop (Windows 8.1 update1).

    Due to restriction, I'm using screenshot from my personal laptop; but the issue is exactly same.

    This seems to be windows explorer bug, was present in Win 7, then in 8 and now in 10. It's very irritating.

    For example, I opened windows explorer. The navigation pane is normal.

    I clicked "#Downloads" in navigation pane. The folder opened in right side, in the actual window.

    Then I double clicked the "Images" folder in actual window, and navigation pane selection scrolled to the "This PC" area.
    But I have not clicked anything in the navigation pane.

    So, to use the pinned/favorite folders from navigation pane, again need to be scrolled up.

    The setting as suggested in many forums, is exactly same:

    Is there any way to stop this current behavior of windows explorer?

    :)

  3. How to get horiz scrolling in Navigation Pane in Win 10 Explorer

    Hello everyone,

    My fiance just got her first Windows 10 laptop recently, and the behaviour of Explorer is driving her nuts. The navigation pane on the left will not scroll horizontally (neither with a horizontal scrollbar nor auto-scrolling as it did in previous versions of Windows), or at least we can't find the right option to enable either:

    This is pretty unusable as it is, so I'm hoping that someone can suggest something. She will switch to an alternate file manager (we've seen recommendations for Classic Shell and xplorer2) if necessary, but would prefer to stick with the Windows 10 file explorer if possible.

    Thanks to everyone!

    Scroll Speed of Navigation Pane in File Explorer

    I've set that setting to 3, but the navigation pane only scrolls one line per wheel step. All other applications and even the other panes of the Windows Explorer scroll by the correct amount.

    It's very annoying that this explorer behaviour is different between Windows 7 and 10, as there's no obvious justification for that change. And if there is some actual reason (rather than some intern thinking it would be fun to hardcode his own preference
    into the Windows codebase), the ratio between normal scrolling and this "Special Explorer Navigation Pane Scrolling Speed" should be configurable somewhere.
