A scroll bar helps you scroll down a web page or a window in Windows Explorer. For various reasons, your scroll bar may disappear from the screen. Chances are that the scroll bar is probably stuck or has reduced its width to its minimum. This process will help you get the scroll bar back to the screen in its original form.
Step 1
Restart your computer. Sometimes, a simple restart can bring back the scroll bar to its original form.
