Windows 11 and LRc. I thought I used to be able to move sliders using the wheel on my mouse. Now I cannot. Am I doing something wrong? Also in Camera Raw? Thanks

Did you figure this out? I just updated my lightroom and now I cannot scroll either. I only edited this way so it is driving me crazy!

Nope, I never did and it drives me nuts too. If you figure it out, please let me know.

Note that moving the slider with the mouse wheel only works on Windows, not Mac.

To add to what johnrellis started, a screenshot, with "teardrop' circled:

Thanks. But I have tried that repeatedely, in LR, PS and LRC. Clicking the teardrop and scrolling. When I click it, it does light up, but greys out as soon as I let go of the left click mouse button. Has to be a preferences setting or something, but I sure can't find it?

There's no preference controlling the use of the scroll wheel. But LR might have corrupted the preferences file. Try resetting LR's preferences:

LR sometimes soils its preferences file, and resetting it can fix all sorts of wonky behavior. That article explains how to restore the old preferences if resetting doesn't help.

I just tested LR 13.0.1 and LR 6.14 on Windows, and LR 13 still works the same in my configurations. You need to click the teardrop on the slider, and if you move the mouse pointer too far away from the slider, the slider's label will grey out and it will stop adjusting the slider.
