Logitech M305 was working properly for close to 10 years. suddenly the scroll wheel only scrolls up a few lines before stopping. I scroll down the page without issue, but when I reverse to scroll up it only goes a few lines. Have been searching solutions proposed in "similar questions" to no avail. Switching on natural scrolling appears to make it worse.

First unplug the mouse. In the battery compartment there are probably a couple of screws, open the case. Then blow out the wheel sensor with air (by mouth or canned air, etc.).
A few drops of isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol in the wheel sensor can clean it out nicely, the alcohol will evaporate quickly.
If it is a wireless USB mouse try connecting the dongle with a USB extension and put it where the signal is not blocked by the computer case, I tried this on a problem mouse and it improved performance.
