Can I make scrollbar wider/bigger?

Win11

Is there any way to widen or otherwise make bigger the scrollbars (horizontal or vertical) in File Explorer? Or, maybe, just in general?

Is there something in SETTINGS > ACCESSIBILITY?

The clickable light grey area (which is the scroll bar, not only the dark grey area) seems to be large enough.

There is currently no native method, setting or known registry hack that can successfully change the size of the scrollbars in Windows 11, the old registry edits that worked in previous versions of Windows do not work in Windows 11.

Thanks, I appreciate it . . . even if the help does come from a Gunners fan.
