Is their a way to enlarge the side scrollbar of FreeFileSync under Win11? It's currently very narrow and very difficult to navigate.
I can't find a way of making changes in Windows settings without obviously having effects on other programs.
The scrollbar remains a normal/workablke size under Win10

In my test there isn't a difference in scrollbar size in FreeFileSync compared to other applications on Windows 11. On your system there is?

This is because Windows 11 uses a much slimmer scrollbar compared to Windows 10.

I have 2x Win11 PC'c and a 1x Win10. The FreeFileSync scrollbar does certainly seem to be smaller than other programs on Win11. That said, yes all the scrollbars are smaller in Win11 as per previous post but for some reason FreeFileSync seemed worse.
I have since found a fix that I can live with which involves making some changes to the windows registry.
The fix does effect other programs. Whilst I've now got a much more usable scrollbar in FreeFileSync, it's much larger in programs like MS office, Chrome, Firefox but oddly no change to the Edge browser.
Thanks for your help:-)
