How to Enable or Disable Always Show Scrollbars in Microsoft Edge
Always showing scrollbars in Microsoft Edge lets you see your page’s scroll bars all the time. Microsoft Edge, the default browser for Windows 11, offers a simple setting to control if these scroll bars stay visible or hide automatically.
Most of the time, Edge hides scroll bars until you move your mouse. This keeps your browser window looking clean. However, you can easily change this so scroll bars are always there. This is helpful if you like seeing exactly where you are on a page.
Go to Edge Settings, then Appearance. Toggle the “Always show scrollbars” option to enable or disable them.
