In what program running on Win10TP are the scroll bars disappearing?

"All Apps" in the start menu.
IE
Edge or whatever it's called today
Most of the "Settings" eg Notifications and actions
etc. etc.

In other words almost any Microsoft written software. Other software
eg PaleMoon (like Firefox) and LibreOffice Writer has scroll bars that
remain.

The way I work is that I put the cursor low down on the scroll bar and
just click to page down. This is what doesn't work when the scroll
bars have disappeared.

My guess is, you've installed some preliminary release, and
have upgrade installed these things, one on top of the other.

If your plan is to "OS test" now, for your audio work,
you should be doing a clean install with a recent DVD image.
At the moment, that would be 10162 from the slow ring.

The purpose of doing a clean install, is to avoid inheriting
"bad mojo" from a previous release.

Note that, the initial OS preparation time will be lower,
with a clean install. The Windows Defender tends to scan
Windows.old as well as Windows, if you upgrade install. It's
one of the reasons I usually use Cleanmgr.exe as soon as
the OS is responsive, to remove the Windows.old from Win10 TP
installation. On a real OS installation, I would not be
in quite as much of a rush. But with this prototype stuff,
I try to clean up as soon as possible.

For audio work, you should be testing on real hardware, and
not in a VM. Stick a spare disk in your audio workstation,
do a clean install, then test your scroll bars. It could be,
that just the automated driver installation will manage
to brick the machine, before you get to do anything
with it :-) Doing it this way, is a more realistic test
case (of what RTM will be like). In my last OS installation,
my webcam (not plugged in), the driver got reinstalled somehow,
leading to looping behavior. So if you have a decent set of
custom hardware cards... I would expect the OS to go nutso.

FWIW my installation has been upgraded step by step from the very
first public preview release (I may have missed a few builds out but
not many) and the scroll bars work okay.

Just one of those weird infuriating baffling things Microsoft put in
to keep us awake.


I've read one article, about Microsoft releasing "A/B" images.
Half the people get one option, half the people get the other.
I changed a registry setting on mine, so I could "enjoy" the
Aero decoration around the main menu. Because apparently the
registry was set differently on my installation. (Mine didn't
have Aero enabled, after the install was finished.)

I don't know how that is implemented. Whether the OS "calls home"
to request customization details, or half the people get one ISO,
and half get the other ISO. Calling home seems more efficient, as then
all the ISO files look identical.

Well this is weird.

My Win10TP installation has started to do it.

The scroll bars have started to disappear until the mouse moves!!

There is one improvement in that previously there was a glitch when
coming out of "sleep", where I got a message about the video having
recovered successfully from a failure. This no longer occurs. I lost
sound with the new install, but went onto the Lenovo site and found the
chipset driver, which brought this back.

I spoke too soon. "The display driver stopped responding and has
recovered" message is back. It seems to be when returning from a "Turn
off the display" situation, rather than sleep.
