As we know the Ctrl + Scroll function of Windows operating systems allows us to zoom in or out in web browsers and other apps such as Microsoft Word documents. When we press the Ctrl key on our keyboard and navigate the mouse wheel, the page zooms in and out accordingly. Although this function helps us check and see the page in various resolutions, sometimes it might not be delightful. For example, if we are reading an article and the Ctrl key is not functioning correctly, we might not be able to scroll down using our mouse. Instead of scrolling up or down, we may be zooming in and out. We might want to disable the Ctrl+Scroll zoom feature in such a situation.
