Question Annoying snapping of the scroll slider

[sgrhill]

Hi!
When I’m working in a window of a random application and I want to scroll up/down or left/right in this window, the scroll slider snaps to the starting position when I move the mouse pointer beyond a certain distance of the slider.
See this example.
Why is that? It’s quite annoying. In macOS I can move the mouse pointer wherever I want on the screen without this snapping of the scroll bar.

Question: is it possible in Windows 10 to disable this (for me) pointless feature?

Greetz,

Possibly "ClickLock".

Use "WIN" + "I" > Devices > Mouse > Additional mouse options.

If not that then explore and test the other available mouse options.

Remember: change only one thing at a time and keep notes so you can go back and undo some change that did not work or caused another problem.

ThnX for your reply.
I've tested these settings, but the snapping of the scroll bar persists.

I know it is possible in Windows 10 to drag the scroll bar without this snapping, because the scroll bar of a random Windows Settings window proves this. For example: Press Win + I and choose Apps. No problem here.
I cannot find in Windows Settings an option to 'unsnap' the scroll bar. Maybe my request must be altered in the Registry.
