scroll wheel doesnt work on Steam App desktop mode

[9Three]

all of a sudden the mouse will not scroll in all areas of the screen. only the top left 25 percent of the screen does the mouse wheel work to scroll the page. its not even 25 percent, its like the top left 20 percent of the app window. its a GUI issue for sure. problem occurs with any mouse. doesnt matter if the app is Full Window or not. steam support is actual trash and told me to come here to get assistance. what a joke of a tech company.

Scroll wheel is working fine for me. Pretty sure it's on your end.

Have you tried doing a clean install of Windows? Try that and see if it fixes the problem.

[9Three]

If nobody else is complaining about having the same problem, it's going to be something with your computer and not Steam itself. An OS install is probably overkill unless the problem exists in other software as well, but the problem isn't with Steam.

wow. problem with my computer? ya dont say. and no, the problem is with Steam, obviously..... as no other issue exists on any program or game.

The same problem. Scrolling doesn`t work only in Steam. There is some small icon near mouse in steam showing mouse wheel. I don`t know how to fix it.

Gl with mouse settings in steam client, there is none , and i doubt they will ever add them.
its you system and maybe even mouse itself or its driver,

You can try replu usb mouse, tahts more a so pc can auto configurating it again with what windows know about it.

and steam will not test your mouse for you either with spare mouse, so it ends there.
even i have seen mouse wheel fail, and that was fixed with new high end dpi mouse.

also why we post this.
mouse has no error report or system check, they either work or start show signs of burnout just like you have there, you can try update its mouse driver but i bet it might not work anyway..

and you can forget all them fake videos with change scroll speed from 3 to 9 whatever, nr. its still a sign of pc system has a issue with the mouse

Try a game with map zoom scroll and i bet it lag zoom ( in / out ).

also why we mention this, steam has no option here, not a steam issue.

if you remember ball mouse , they dont tell it need cleaning, nothing has change on optical mouse, or microswitch on it they do brake down and dont say there is a issue until you notice it.

I solved it. It was in Oscar mouse programm. Switch 4D wheel settinhg to Normal wheel!!!!!!

So I have a similar issue: My scroll wheel works, but middle clicking doesn't bring up a lil thing to scroll down faster
