How to Hide or Show the Scroll Bars in Windows 10 Start Menu, Settings or Apps.
As you may have noticed, in Windows 10, when you start the Start menu, the Settings app or when working in a Store App, the scroll bar is invisible by default and only appears when you move the cursor to the right side of the open window. This behavior was a little annoying and thankfully Microsoft in the latest Windows 10 1803 feature update(April 2018) added the option to always display the scroll bar in all open windows (for example, in the Start menu in the Settings app, etc.).
This tutorial contains instructions on how to hide or show always the scrollbars in all open windows and applications, in Windows 10 v1803 (or later).
