    Odd Problem

    This just started happening a short time ago and I can't figure out what, if anything, I might have done to cause it.

    Whenever I click onto a new page - not just on this site, but anywhere - the scroll-down bar on the right side of the screen disappears, and I have to refresh the page to get it back.

    Thanks, Chris, but I'm not running Windows 10 - I've still got 8.1 on this PC - and there doesn't seem to be a comparable selection to make in the Ease of Access area. I'm not sure that's the problem, anyway, because moving the cursor doesn't bring back the scroll bar. Only reloading the page does.

    WIndows 8.1! OK, this talks about the problem, that there's no fix, that maybe a Windows update broke it: https://www.google.com/search?q=scro...hrome&ie=UTF-8

    I searched on "scroll bar disappears windows 8.1" and found other hits saying similar.

    Okay, thanks. Maybe I'll bite the bullet sometime soon and put Windows 10 on this machine. I've just resisted doing that till now because I hate 8.1 and people have told me that I'll hate 10 even more. I had Windows 7 on my computer at work and I loved (and miss) it.

    Unfortunately MS isnt going to be doing anything with 8...dont put windows 10 on SW...windows 11 is already out and soon MS is going to force win 10 over to win 11.. if you wait a little longer there may be a free offer period like they did with 10...but I would not install 10 at this point

    I would install and try another browser, see if that fixs it...it could be a chrome issue but I know know a thing about chrome. Save your bookmarks to desktop and if you install firefox it should install them...so you wont lose them...same with brave I believe its chrome based...

    I have 2 browsers on my machine...FireFox and Brave, I like them both for different reasons....brave is a very good alternative to fire fox

    Hope this helps
