Here’s somebody complaining on Google Product forums that they have issues with the mouse functionality while using the Chrome browser in Windows. Here’s how the issue is described in the forum thread: Apparently, the Chrome version is the latest version, and the issue happens only when Chrome is being used in the Modern user interface (or Metro, as some still call it). While using the Chrome browser in Desktop mode in Windows, no issues have been detected. Here are some suggestions to help you fix the mouse scroll not working in Chrome. Quick Tip: While you’re busy trying to figure out what is wrong with Chrome, you should have a backup browser that you can use, and none is better than Opera. As for the scrolling experience, you can further enhance it through extensions, such as those that allow Smooth Scrolling. Even when you have 20 tabs opened, it has better tab management features.
