Windows – How to turn off smooth scrolling for apps and start menu in Windows 10

modern-uiscrollingwindows 10

Is there any way to disable the smooth scrolling effect for Metro apps and the start menu in Windows 10?

The scrolling in Metro apps and the start menu is a little bit delayed in comparison with traditional applications. I believe this is due to the smooth scrolling effect. However, I can't find a way to turn off it.

Best Answer

You're in fact asking two different things. I can answer the title question.

One option is called Smooth-scroll list boxes and it is located in

Control panel > System > Advanced system settings > tab Advanced > Performance

Tick it off and list boxes (like Windows Explorer with lot of files) will react quickly to mouse wheel. There's no need to restart / log off.

Another option that may apply to your problem is Animate controls and element inside windows. Anyway, try to fiddle with these options and then please leave comments below.
