When trying to look at a selection on the computer screen that requires the ability to scroll up or down in the window using the mouse or keypad, the screen always scrolls to the last selection of the list. No matter what changes I make in the Settings for the mouse and or the monitor. This is true for the "Select a tag" above. It won't let me select anything except Outlook.

    It sounds like you are experiencing an issue with scrolling behavior in Windows, where the screen scrolls to the last selection regardless of your input. This could be related to how the mouse wheel interacts with the controls on your screen. Here are a few points to consider:

    1. Mouse Wheel Functionality: Ensure that the mouse wheel is configured to scroll the object that the pointer is currently over. This means that if your pointer is over a specific control (like a list), the mouse wheel should scroll that control without needing to click or focus first.
    2. Input Focus: The mouse wheel should not change the input focus when used. If the focus is shifting unexpectedly, it might cause the behavior you are experiencing.
    3. Settings Adjustments: You might want to check the mouse settings in the Control Panel to ensure that the scroll lines are set correctly. The default value is typically 3, but you can adjust this to see if it improves the scrolling behavior.
    4. Application-Specific Behavior: Some applications may have their own scrolling logic. If this issue is specific to a particular application (like Outlook), it might be worth checking if there are updates or settings within that application that could affect scrolling.

    If the problem persists, consider looking into any recent updates or changes made to your system that might have affected mouse behavior.

    The automatic scrolling in Windows is usually caused by a game controller connected to the PF, if you have a game controller connected to your PC, disconnect it and restart your PC to check if that resolves the problem.

    If that was not the problem, bring up the on-screen keyboard, is it indicated on the on-screen keyboard that any keys like the Down or End keys are being pressed even if you are not pressing them.
