On Windows 11, the mouse and touchpad help us make navigation and interaction much easier on the screen. However, these devices have a default scroll direction that doesn't feel natural. If you scroll up with the mouse wheel or swipe down, the page will always scroll up. Although this behavior is acceptable for most users, many people may not feel comfortable with it.
Whatever the reason, Windows 11 lets you reverse the scrolling direction if you want to move the page up when scrolling up or move the page down when scrolling down. However, starting with the Windows 11 2024 update, you can only use the Settings app to adjust the scrolling direction with the mouse wheel. If you have an older version, you will have to use the Registry.
