InDesign 2024 scroll wheel not working on PC.  This is an application problem NOT a PC problem.

Not seeing that issue here on Windows 11.

From the posts on this, I am guessing that some small aspect of ID's cursor-movement code was changed (possibly updated in all good principle), and some mouse/pointing device drivers have a shortcut or bit of obsolete code that doesn't properly mesh. That's all WAG, but that some notable number of users would lose one axis of control or one 'key' only in ID... updating the input device driver and inquring with them would seem to be the only solution.

Problem fix by using a Dell mouse.  InDesign 2024 does not work with a Microsoft made mouse.

Not working on my Logi MX Master 3 too..

I'm having the same issue on my Dell laptop. The touchpad scroll to move around artboards isn't working in InDesign. I have to use the scroll bars, which is pretty annoying.

Yup, me too. Windows 11 and the Indesign update has hobbled the scroll on my Microsoft Arc mouse. I manage to get some halting jerky scrolling out of it if I really try, by some reason, enabling touch on my Wacom and using the scroll on that first. And the my mouse scroll works if I'm hovering in the actual scroll bar on the page. But as with the other users, this is solely an Indesign 2024 problem, the mouse is working everywhere else.

I'm so frustrated I tried to go back to the old version, but now it just makes my laptop fall over.

I'm running the latest update for Windows 10. I have found that I can get it to move using the touchpad only if I do a hard double finger swipe, but it is not a graceful move with ease, but a hard jump from top to bottom or other pages. Hopefully, they'll get a fix for this in an update soon. Fingers crossed!

I'm getting this problem too with the latest InDesign update - my Microsoft Surface mouse no longer scrolls properly.

I've discovered it's the Microsoft mouse. i changed out for a Logitech one and it works fine....so frustrating (especially since i really like my Microsoft one more)!!!

Installed latest update to InDesign - 19.0.1, and this issue is STILL not resolved.

Mouse wheel scrolling was working, updated to version 19.0, stopped working, upgraded to 19.0.1 for 'Bug Fixes', STILL not working.

I guess I'll be installing an older version ... Awesome.

Windows 10 on Dell Latitude laptop. Neither the mouse wheel nor the two-finger trackpad scrolling is working correctly in the latest InDesign. Really slowing down my work today.

I was also having this issue with Indesign 2024 on Windows 11. I discovered that if I downloaded Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center, the mouse started scrolling quickly again.

I have the Microsoft Wireless Comfort 5050 Keyboard/Mouse set. and installing the above seems to have fixed the issue.

This has worked for me - thanks!

[kelli_89]

This also worked for me! Thank you for posting! For those who need additional direction: You have to download and then go to "Identify programs that don't scroll correctly" under Scroll Settings and select InDesign.

Worked for me too thank you so much!

It seems that the update 19.3 and newer has fixed it:
