How to show scrollbar in apps in Windows 10

Microsoft is improving the Settings app with each release. It could be adding more options from the Control Panel or updating its design. Slowly but surely, the Settings app is getting snappy and powerful.

In an effort to clean up and streamline the UI of the Settings app and other Store apps, Microsoft chose to hide the scroll bars by default.

Even though the scroll bars are "hidden", you can still see it as a thin line on the right-hand side of the application. When hovering over this line, you will see the scrollbar is really full and can use it to scroll up and down.

Hiding the scroll bar makes the apps look a little nicer but affects the user experience. So, if you don't like the hidden scrollbars, you can keep Windows 10 from displaying the scrollbars by changing a single option in the Settings app.

This is especially useful if you are mainly using the mouse pointer to move the scroll bar. Let TipsMake.com show you how to always show the scrollbar in Settings and Store apps on Windows 10.
