I have run scans on Avast and MalwareBytes (nothing detected), checked that the arrow keys are not physically being pressed down (they're not as far as I could tell) and unplugged my USB mouse, to no avail. It is such a bizarre problem I haven't the slightest idea on how to even approach it. I have also found that pressing the arrow keys sometimes seems to make this 'scrolling' behaviour stop momentarily (from a few to several seconds), but it always resumes. In typed text files (Word, Notepad files, etc), however, the effect is like holding the 'right arrow' key down continuously - anywhere I click in the middle of a sentence, the cursor jumps to the end of the sentence and flashed quickly (like when you hold the right arrow key - it scrolls to the end of sentence and flashes quickly until you release when it goes back to the normal slower flashes). the 'Help and support' pages), the page itself jumps to the bottom of the page. For scrolling side-to-side, make sure the application you’re using supports side-to-side scrolling. Check the Scrolling speed slide-control at the top, and make sure the Scroll checkbox is checked.

If you’re using a wireless mouse, check or change your batteries. We recommend the use of alcohol (you can. Make sure your mouse cable isn’t damaged. If the scroll wheel is not resolved even then, follow it up by rubbing with a lightly moistened cloth to remove dirt.

Plug your mouse into a different USB port. For mice that have a scroll ball, refer to How to clean your Mighty Mouse. Here are some things you can try before you start troubleshooting Windows 10 itself: Unplug your mouse, then plug it back in after a few minutes. In lists of things, for example the 'Uninstall Programs' list in Control Panel, the same thing - when I click on any one item (in this case a program name) to select it, the selection immediately jumps to the bottom. Mouse doesn't scroll up or down or side to side. If I click on an icon to select it on the desktop or a file icon in File Explorer, the selection almost instantly jumps to the last/bottom-most icon (or file) - the same action as you would get by pressing the down arrow button until it reaches the bottom-most icon/file. The effect is similar to having the 'down arrow' key on the keyboard continuously held down. Hoping someone can help me with this problem on my Compaq Vista laptop that has been driving me crazy.īasically, my computer won't stop 'scrolling down'.
