Mouse continuously scrolling after Jan 26 2026 updates

Got the problem of continues scroll to top in Jan 26, solved it by uninstalling mouse driver and restarting to get a new driver installed.

You can start by booting into Safe Mode and see if the scrolling issue still happens, since that strips things down to the basics and helps figure out if third‑party software is involved. It’s also worth plugging in a different mouse, whether USB or wireless, just to rule out hardware problems. A lot of people on Reddit mentioned that switching USB ports or turning off the “Scroll inactive windows when hovering” option in Settings > Bluetooth & devices > Mouse made a difference. Another common fix is uninstalling the mouse driver in Device Manager and letting Windows reinstall it automatically. Running sfc /scannow and DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth can also repair any system files that got messed up by the update.

Some folks suggested checking gaming software like Logitech G Hub or Razer Synapse for stuck macros or ghost inputs, since those can cause endless scroll signals. If that doesn’t help, you could try creating a new Windows user profile to see if the problem is tied to your current account. And if none of these steps work, pausing updates for a while and reporting the bug through Feedback Hub is a good way to let Microsoft know what’s going on.

Hi,

Quick question, have you try other mouse ? if you try that and is still the same you can go to control panel and look for mouse and click after that look for tab named buttons and adjust between slow and fast, apply and okay and if still not work go to other tab named wheel and make sure both have the same value then apply and okay that should work.

If none of these works, I’ll be happy to share some steps that might help resolve the issue.
