By default, Windows only shows scroll bars when they are actually needed and when the operating system detects mouse movements. This behavior is intentional and part of the so-called Fluent Design of Windows. It’s intended to keep the desktop free of superfluous control elements. This effect can be observed, for example, in the list of apps in the Start menu, in the Microsoft Store, or in the Windows Settings app.

However, if you work intensively with the operating system, the constantly disappearing scroll bars can also be annoying. In this case, you can display the elements permanently. To do this, open “Settings” in the Start menu, then go to “Accessibility,” click on “Visual effects,” and set the switch next to “Always show scrollbars” to “On.”
Turning on this option can make navigating long lists much easier.
