Type-in regedit. Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics. On the left hand pane, double click on ScrollHeight and ScrollWidth change the string value to edit the height and width of the scroll bar. (Default value is -255) Keep in mind that the formula is -15*desired height/width in pixels. (e.g. -15*20 = -300) After setting the desired height/width, close the registry editor and sign out and sign in again from your computer to apply the changes. Result Default value is set to -255 and I set to -400 and it widens after sign out and sign in (Theres also a Color folder that has Color for Scrollbar in RGB Color) Edited December 30, 2023 by LOCO Merlin007 1 Awards

Made mine a bit a wider as well, not quite as wide as yours but just so it's not a sliver lol. I am running 11 pro and the colour change to the scrollbar did not seem to work though. Not sure if it's the version or as I have read, may not work in 11 as it did in win 10. Be nice if MS just made some of these more visual customizations available in the settings menu, comes down to accessibility I think, not everyone would be comfortable editing the registry. Thanks for sharing. Awards
