How to scroll vertically down till my desired text is displayed

Question

I tried

((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript("windows.scrollBy(0,500)");

And

((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript("arguments[0].scrollIntoView();", element);

And

WebElement lastElement = driver.findElement(By.xpath("value of locator"));
int y = lastElement.getLocation().getY();
JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor)driver;
js.executeScript("window.scrollTo(0,"+y+")");
Thread.sleep(3000);

My window's scroll bar is moving down but I want to scroll my application's scroll bar.

As in the attached image after clicking o settings it is opening further options & I have to scroll to see below options

As per your code trials I think you were pretty close. You need to induce WebDriverWait for the desired element to be visible first and then use executeScript() method to scrollIntoView as follows:

WebElement lastElement = new WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.xpath("xpath_of_the_desired_element"))).click();
((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript("arguments[0].scrollIntoView(true);",element);

It's how i scroll to an element of my DOM ( with jquery, tell me if you need vanilla ) :

$('#elementToScroll').animate({
            scrollTop: $("#scrollToThisElement").offset().top - $(window).height() / 2
 }, 0);

This code will center verticaly the .scrollToThisElement
