Windows 11 How to make scroll bars more visible accessibility settings

Tired of always searching for the Scroll bar on the right side of your screen in Windows 11?

You saved my laptop from total destruction. My acer says thank you.

Thank you! That annoyed me to no ends.

Very nice - thanks! I wonder who thought people would like the hair-thin strip that's stock on Windows 11?

Very usable tip that has bothered me. Many thanks! 👍

Thanks! I didn't realize I was disabled because I can't see invisible scroll bars!

Thankyou so much. My scroll bar was too tiny for me to grab with my mouse. Now fixed ...thanks to you 👍😘

This only half-works (Win 11). Some of the scroll bars show (wide) all the time now, like Notepad, and Windows settings, but in File Explorer, it's still a think line you have to hover over perfectly. Also Libre office does it, which means it's not just default windows apps...

Thank you, eyes are bad, big help...

Can you show the speaking options in accessibility

[deeplogic]

(I subscribed) THANK YOU! Well explained, quick, easy, and most importantly ... it worked! *Now, maybe you can advise me how to get Windows 11 to recognize CANON PIXMA MP490 printer, even after downloading latest drivers from the Canon website, and trying every "alleged" solution I could find, and NONE of them worked.*

It doesn't work in the file explorer

Anyone have any idea how to get Windows 11 File Explorer how to resize and remember where it was next time you open? Mine is stuck 1/2 way between 2 screens and I've gotta move it each time? Dumb. None of the online solutions work. Windows 11 sucks.

Regarding the side slide bar....But it's so Apple and cool to be clean without it. Like lets make everything so you have to click 3 steps instead of one like muting your speaker on the taskbar or on a phone instead of turning off and on the flash on your phone lets make it so you have to click, then wait for it to open (ya fast but) then look and pick one of 3 options vs just leaving it so I can rapidly tap the icon however many times to select no flash, auto or flash. Progress. Letts complicate things. Gimme Windows XP

"Windows 11 aims to provide a sleek and modern user interface. Narrower scroll bars contribute to a cleaner and less cluttered appearance, which is in line with current design trends that emphasize minimalism." Good, let's all eat roach powder...it's minimalism too. Makes you think voting and what companies you buy from matter.
