Is scrolling using your mouse wheel excruciatingly slow? This is due to smooth scrolling which is enabled by default. With smooth scrolling, flipping the mouse wheel moves the screen pixel by pixel. So, if you flip the mouse wheel once, it might be moving 100 pixels down but the screen will be redrawn a hundred times to get to that spot. Turn off smooth scrolling and you get to the spot with only a single screen update!

Now that we know what's causing the slow scrolling, let's see how we can turn off smooth scrolling! 

1. Go to Control Panel and select Internet Options.

2. In the screen that appears, select the Advanced tab.

3. Scroll down and uncheck the Use smooth scrolling option.
      
4. Click on OK and that's it! Smooth scrolling is henceforth disabled and scrolling using your mouse wheel will be a lot faster and usable than before.
