      I suspect you will garner a vast number of upvotes for this gem - thanks.

        Well, I'll be! Thanks for posting that. Who ever thought that hiding the scrollbars was an "ease of access" improvement? Hiding something does not make it easier to access!

          especially then, in case one depends on a screen reader :confused:

          It does not solve my Problem, but it answers my question

              Thank you, appreciate it ... I think someone at MSFT was inspired and added this option recently to let us choose at least (but the choice is evident :-) ...)

                This "ease of access" was bugging me (and everyone I guess) for some time :-) , but only recently I think this solution arrived, MSFT deserves good points for correcting this ...

                    Pretty sure this is one of those settings that get reset with every Windows update, 'cuz I've definitely used this before (months ago) and--now that you've posted about it--noticed that it was turned off again...

                        Microsoft decided that "knowing there was more if you scroll" wasn't important and auto hide the scrollbars in UWP apps by default until you hover the mouse over where they might be if there is any more to see. Stupid UI design, a retrograde step in usability.

                            I have absolutely no idea. It probably seems "clean" and "fresh" to some prepubescent :elephant:wit that works in the "design department" at MS. Like many Win 8 / 10 changes, "usability" was not considered or tested. X|

                                I understand minimalist design, but many people take this too far. Thank you for this setting.
