     Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

    From your issue description, I understand that scroll bar/slide bar disappears after a few seconds.

    To help you resolve this issue, Could you please answer the following questions.

    1. On the scroll bar, you need to perhaps tell us where you are in Windows 8?
    2. When you have this issue; are you somewhere on the Start screen or in a Windows 8 store-style app or are you somewhere on the Desktop side?
    3. Where are you missing the "scroll bar”?

    Please answer these questions so that I can rectify your issue as soon as possible.

    IT HAPPENS TO ME ON INTERNET EXPLORER.  IT IS VERY AGGRAVATING!  I HOPE THIS ISSUE CAN BE RESOLVED SOON.  PLEASE LET US KNOW OF ANY UPDATES REGARDING THIS ISSUE.

    When ever on MSN the scrollbar not only disappears but I have to move of the bar and back on the bar to get it to scroll, this program is complete garbage. I have stopped using Windows 8 and don't go to MSN site.

    I answered the 3 questions poised by MS  but they are no longer interested.

    My wish is that Microsoft would revive Windows XP and up date it for those of us that need to do actual work with our computers, and not have a lot of wheels turning, windows blinking and other EYE WASH ITEMS that serves no use but to use up resourses.
