Always Show Scrollbars keeps the scroll bar on the right side of your screen in Microsoft Edge at all times instead of hiding it when you stop moving your mouse. This setting lets you see your exact spot on long web pages at a glance without needing to scroll first.

⚡ Quick Answer

Go to Edge Settings, then Appearance. Toggle the “Always show scrollbars” option to enable or disable them.

Microsoft Edge hides scrollbars by default to keep web pages looking clean on Windows 10 and Windows 11, but you can turn this off to keep them visible at all times.
