Touchpad two-finger scroll not working as I expected? How can I reverse the direction of scrolling when I move two fingers up or down on the touchpad? If you have upgraded to Windows 11 and not used to the default scrolling direction, you can reverse the touchpad scroll direction with ease. In this tutorial we’ll walk you through the steps to change touchpad scrolling direction in Windows 11, without using third-party software or registry hack.
How to Change Touchpad Scrolling Direction in Windows 11
- To get started, open the Settings app by pressing the Windows + I keyboard shortcut, or you can right-click the Start button in the taskbar and then choose “Settings“.
- Select Bluetooth & devices on the left side, and then click Touchpad on the right side.
- Click the Scroll & zoom to expand its related settings.
- You can then click the “Scrolling direction” drop-down menu to select your preferred option for two-finger scrolling: Down motion scrolls up or Down motion scrolls down.
- Down motion scrolls up (default): When you swipe down with two fingers on the touchpad, the vertical scrollbar will move up.
- Down motion scrolls down: When you swipe down with two fingers on the touchpad, the vertical scrollbar will move down. This is the “natural” scroll direction.
- Close the Settings app. Enjoy scrolling the way you’re happy with.
That’s it!
