    Photos App arrow keys not working

    I'm using an ASUS K501UW with Windows 10 installed with all the latest updates.

    I have a habit of using my arrow keys to navigate through my pictures in the Microsoft Photos App. A few days ago, the arrow keys suddenly stopped working. It seems to be a glitch because I am able to go ahead for one
    or two pictures using the arrow keys but it gets stuck on the next. I am able to click on the Next button using my mouse to go ahead but I would really prefer using the arrow keys.

    Please help?

    Windows 10 - Photo App - Arrow Keys, Mouse Scroll wheel & Next/Previous arrows do not work

    Hi Lozza47au,

    Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Community Forums.

    I appreciate the efforts taken by you in troubleshooting this issue. The details provided helps us to avoid repeating the steps.

    1. On the other computer where you have described ‘something has gone haywire’, are you aware of any changes made to the PC prior to this issue?
    2. Is the arrow keys and mouse scroll wheel issue specific to particular photo in that photo folder?
    3. Do you face the same issue when you open the photo in a different application?
    4. What is the make and model of the Keyboard, mouse?

    However, let us try these methods one by one to check if that helps.

    Method A: Suggest you to refer to the suggestions from Ernie San dated November 22, 2016 and Dan9090 dated September 1, 2017 to check if that makes any difference.

    Redirecting

    Method B: You may also want to move couple of photos to a different location and check if those Photo app options work normally.

    Hope this helps and let us know how it goes.

    Regards,

    Srimadhwa B

    Photos app cannot use cursor arrow keys for navigation?!

    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?
