Windows 10: Photos not scrolling with arrow keys/no arrow buttons on sides

So i've seen this question posted a bunch on subreddits and even the official microsoft help pages and the answer is always just "lol use another app". This was literally working fine for me yesterday.

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?

 

Scrolling through pictures using arrow keys.

I'm using photos app, and I can't scroll through pictures via arrow keys

 

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

We have 2 individual computers both running Windows 10, and both of these computers have had clean installs of Windows within the previous 6 weeks. Up until yesterday both of these computers have worked perfectly with the Photo App - Photos on both computers
are held on 1TB hard drives dedicated to photos, music, word docs etc, in other words completely separate from the "C" drive.

Photos are in the folder "My Pictures" and are in sub-folders according to date or other criteria. Normally I would open a folder, double click any photo then use either the keyboard arrow keys, the scroll wheel on the mouse or use the mouse to click on
the Next/Previous arrow to the left or right of the photo and I could view the next (or previous) photo and this is how it has always worked on both the computers until yesterday.

On one computer the photo app still works as described above, however on the other computer something has gone haywire. If I go into the photos on that computer, open a folder as per normal, select a photo then firstly the next/previous arrows are not there,
the scroll wheel does not work and neither do the keyboard arrow keys. You can select all the photos in the folder, click enter, then the keyboard arrows work, but nothing else does. If I select an individual photo then go to settings - the 3 little dots on
the extreme upper right, then scroll down there is an option to select the scroll wheel to be either used as a zoom function or advance photo function. If the Zoom function is selected it works as it should, however if the other function is selected nothing
happens.

Interestingly, the computer has a backup using SyncBack to a 2TB WD external HDD and if I go into the backup (which is set as mirror image) and open the My Pictures folder in the backup, then open any other sub folder, and select a photo, all the functionality
of the keyboard, mouse and next/previous arrows are there, but only on the backup.

Anyone have any ideas/suggestions?
