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

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.
- HotCakeXSep 11, 2019MVPThat 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. - MrMikeHSep 10, 2019Brass ContributorYou're right, I am upset. I have always used Edge since the beginning and really don't want to switch to Chrome or Firefox. I have used both of them for a time and just didn't like them for various reasons. Removing something as basic as scroll bars is NOT something I would expect Microsoft to do. To me, it makes the page look unprofessional. Microsoft has a chance here to get a bigger share of the browser market, but for me, this issue is a deal breaker. Regular Edge has them, so when they ported the page to the Chromium version, something happened that removed the scroll bars. It's hard to believe that Microsoft did it on purpose.
As for the personalized news and more button, I found it, but I had to change the page settings from custom to focused. Even then, when I click on it, the page doesn't have scroll bars, so I don't think that is going to help my situation, but thanks for letting me know.
I'll just keep hoping Microsoft fixes it, so that I can go back to using one browser, instead of switching back to regular Edge to read the news.- HotCakeXSep 11, 2019MVP
Microsoft removed scrollbar from the new tab page for Aesthetic purposes but when the user scrolls down to the News section, they should be presented with one but it's missing here.

Or, Mike, one could scroll via the mouse wheel and stay in one same browser. Also, Edge C is far from finished. And, here's another thought /suggestion for you. It would mean using ONE browser and an app which, of course, can be pinned to your task bar AND it has a scroll bar
(I didn't mark it, but, it's easy to see in the usual spot) You guessed it, it's the News app; it's, even, a default app, meaning, already, in your OS, you don't, even, have to fetch it from Store. Maybe, you'll fancy the idea, this approach for yourself. Seems would give you something you'd like & enjoy without involving 2 browser windows...Plus, remember, there will not be Edge C and Edge (forever) as eventually Edge C replaces Edge.
Cheers,
