window.scrollTo({
top: 0,
left: 0,
behavior: 'instant' // This should be allowed
})π Actual behavior
The value of 'instant' cannot be assigned to behavior when using element.scrollTo() according to https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/scrollTo as well as testing it in a browser

The value of 'instant' is allowed when using element.scrollTo() according to https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/scrollTo as well as testing it in a browser. Note that a similar issue, #28755, was about scrollIntoView(), which indeed does not allow 'instant'.

not ideally solution but this works for me when upgrading typescript might not be an option.
