Windows 11 problem

[KS Toronado]

On a open window screen the slide bar that goes up and down with the page located on the
far right is very narrow like a line unlike previous versions of Windows or Macintosh where they
were about a quarter wide which made them quick and easy to use.

Have looked in settings and are unable to find any setting for it. Anyone know how to widen that
narrow line?

1. It involves making changes to the registry.

It doesn't change scrollbars in Microsoft Store apps or in some windows like Settings.

There are a couple of other options noted in the comments.

2. Same question. Even harder to use while on treadmill. nt

3. I've changed mine

Not been able to find a tweak utility to do it, but (buckle up!) it's a fairly easy Registry edit.

Before you touch your registry, make a full backup. Type 'Regedit' in either Find or Run command box. In the regedit File menu you can import/export your registry settings. Don't ignore this step.

Then I'd also make a restore point and call it .... whatever. Just in case.

Here are a few links on how to do this. They basically all say the same thing in different ways. The essence is the number that you enter into the Registry key in 'Scroll Width'.

Mine is set at -400 which pretty well replicates to old scroll bar width.

You will not see effects until after a restart.
