  1. Function keys and arrows not working. Seems unfixable.


    Randomly my Num Lock, Caps Lock, arrow keys, all the Function keys, and basically everything on the right side of my keyboard has stopped being detected on my computer. I thought it was a keyboard problem so I bought a new keyboard but it's still not working. I have tried resetting my keyboard, cleaning the keyboard, updating keyboard drivers and nothing seems to work. Any ideas?

    :)

  2. down arrow key stopped working

    My razor lycosa down arrow key decided to not respond at some point today. The other ones work and so does the numpad arrow if i turn off the numlock. Sounds like its just broken and im screwed, but any suggestions?

    Windows + Arrow Keys Stops working

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.

    Please provide more information to help you better:


    • Are you using a USB keyboard?

    • Have you made any changes to the PC prior to the issue?

    • What is the make and model of your keyboard?

    Since you are able to use the other shortcut keys, means that the keyboard works fine. This issue can occur if the
    Arrow keys on the keyboard are faulty.

    I suggest you to follow the methods below and check if it helps:

    Method 1:

    Try using the Arrow keys on other programs. Check if they are functional.

    Most of the sytems have “Fn” key or a Function Lock key. This key can be used to
    Enable and Disable the Arrow keys. Check if the
    Arrow keys function after toggling the Fn key.

    Method 2:

    Try connecting a different keyboard to your computer. Try the shortcut keys once again. Check if they works.

    Reply with necessary information and the result to help you further. Thank you.
