This is not entirely correct setting a friction value that is 'too high' seem to prevent the Start Menu from opening, which is weird, since that should not have anything to do with scroll friction! Considering these keys are filed under Touch specifically, I figure they should be fairly safe to change. In Windows, I found out I could improve the situation a little by changing some Registry Keys, but admittedly, I had to guess and experiment. Changing the registry to fix scroll issues Windows is not alone in this - Linux also has limited scroll settings, but at least kUbuntu seem to have more sane default values for my system, and of course, you might be able to adjust scroll speed by other means in Linux if you really need to. Windows does not offer a nice way to change Touchpad scroll behavior the settings are extremely limited. It is one of the most annoying things thinkable. In my opinion, apps or programs should not be allowed to override OS-wide default scroll behavior. The problem may be worsened because different apps might implement different scroll behavior. I think it has to do with Windows' Smooth Scrolling, or momentum scrolling, AKA: kinetic scrolling or inertial scrolling. Small problem: Precision Touchpads are apparently not so precise. When I go to the touchpad settings in Windows, it tells me at the top: I think it has to do with some newer laptops having a 'precision touchpad'.

I am not entirely sure what is wrong, but it just feels retarded and extremely slow, like something is 'fighting against' my scroll movements. The default configuration for scroll speed and scroll behavior is just messed up. I tried installing the Lenovo provided driver for the touchpad, and even though it installed successfully and the device appeared to be working in device manager, it was not working (pointer did not even show up on screen), and I had to revert back to the old Microsoft provided driver, which shows up as a HID-compliant mouse in device manager. I recently got a Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 (AMD edition), which apparently has something called a 'precision touchpad'. I am not entirely sure what causes it, but my older laptop did not seem to have this issue. When using the two-finger scroll gesture, it seem to either scroll too fast, too slow, or it continues scrolling even after you lift your fingers from the touchpad, which is massively annoying. There is one thing I find absolutely horrendously annoying in Windows 10/11, that is the fact that touchpad scroll settings is either missing or lacking, and configured incorrectly.
