You may be used to tapping the arrow keys to quickly scroll through images in the Windows Photos app, but an even faster method is to use the mouse wheel. We will show you how to make the mouse wheel scroll instead of zoom.
By default, when an image is open in Photos and you use the mouse wheel, your photo zooms in or out. When adjusting the Photos settings, you can change this behavior so that the mouse wheel opens the next or previous photo in your folder.
