Still no scroll bars on New Tab/Start page! Can't be just me!

Hi Mike & welcome,
"Please fix this! It can't be that difficult to fix.", Mike
The degree of difficulty is a moot point as there is nothing to fix, in the 1st place.
The old saying "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" applies here. There is no recognition of a 'problem' needing to be 'fixed'. One can certainly & very easily scroll down the New page & view the news items without a scroll bar... there isn't one, true, nor any need, so, it isn't seen a problem needing fixing; a likely theory on how the Team may be viewing this. You can save a wee bit of scrolling by hitting the button circled below which, pulls the news up to the top & then scroll down from there for more news items. Scrolling (anywhere) does not require a bar.
Cheers,

- No, I don't accept that! Scroll bars are basic and need to be included on EVERY page. Users shouldn't have to find a work around on their own. For a page to be functional, it has to have scroll bars period. As for the picture you included,
As far as the picture goes, I don't know what you are pointing to, but if you talking about the line that starts with My Feed, then all those pages have no scroll bars either.MrMikeH
Too bad you sound quite upset. Any page can be scrolled with a bar or any need for one, even though you fell one is required. Pointing you to the button circled in red. As stated, it saves some scrolling as it pops the News to the top for you. Here it is again. Tip: Think you need to look a wee bit further down. Looking for ⬇ Personalized news & more button. Not, the words/links below it.- That doesn't fix the problem.
you can read my comment again to find out why.
it only solves half of the problem. the news section is still missing the scroll bar.
- You're totally right. with your explanation now i fully understand your problem and it is a Valid one.
if Microsoft decided not to include a scroll bar on the new tag page for the sake of aesthetics but at least they could have added it to the news section. so when you clicked on that button and it took you to the news, a scroll bar would appear and you could use it to review the news.
i just went to main page MSN news https://www.msn.com/en-us/news
and it has scrollbar!
so for the same reason there is a scroll bar on that site, adding the same scrollbar to the news section of the new tab page is justified.
Well you might not have a problem with the design on the new tab page but clearly OP has and that's why he posted in this forum.
adding a scroll bar to the new tab page would help his situation. Windows users have lots of possibilities to customize their OS and how they interact with it. it's called personalization.
would be great if not a single user was left behind and everybody enjoyed the new Edge browser.
