Display scroll bars permanently

In Windows 10 the scroll bars are always hidden automatically if the mouse is not moved over this area. This has certain advantages for tablets. However, when working with a desktop, it is better if the scroll bars are always shown.

In Windows 10 version 1803, Microsoft has now added a feature to enable or disable this automatic behavior. Permanently displayed scroll bars can be reached with :

• open settings via the start menu, or press Windows+I
• Simplified operation -> Display
• Under Windows Simplify and Personalize, set the option “Automatically hide scrollbars in Windows” to Off.
