    Windows 11 kept the scroll bars but got rid of the arrows at each end of
    a scroll bar, until you move the cursor onto the bar. Is there any way
    to make the arrows show all the time?

    Start - Settings - Accessibility - Visual Effects - Always Show
    Scrollbars

    Thanks, Char! I've been annoyed for years by having to grope for
    scroll bars, but I didn't realize there's a setting. I'll follow your
    lead when I'm on my Windows 11 laptop.

    In Windows 10, for those who still have it, Settingsÿ¯ Ease of
    accessÿ¯ Display, and turn off "Automatically hide scroll bars in
    Windows".

    Annoying. IIRC, macOS removed its scrollbars!
