Hi. How do I remove the left "Fill" scrollbar in Paint? It was gone until I made a registry change to eliminate the Copilot button.

ASUS FA617_A is a Co-pilot AI laptop.
It is one of a a new class of Windows 11 PC that leverages AI to offer enhanced performance and unique AI-powered experiences. These devices are designed with a specialized chip, the Neural Processing Unit (NPU), to handle AI-intensive tasks. They also integrate AI into various aspects of the user experience, including tasks like search, image generation, and personalized suggestions. The new Paint app is designed for such devices

Changing the UI on such devices can give unexpected results. I suggest you UNDO whatever registry change you made to see if the left.scrollbar disappears again. My opinion is if you did not want co-pilot you should not have bought a specialized laptop geared 100% with co-pilot.

I forgot to add, in non-copilot equipped devices, the scrollbar in Paint is on the left. It's purpose is to navigate up and down within the canvas when the image is larger than the visible window.

I misspoke about the registry. I changed it to add "Edit with Paint" to the right-context menu. My "Fill" scrollbar is always visible.
The right scrollbar *is* available to navigate.
