    Recently, My PC's arrow keys have been acting up. Whenever the right key is pressed while the cursor is in a line of text, the app that I am on is moved to one half of the screen and all of the other apps that are open are shown to the right. When I have not clicked on editable text, windows start opens up. I have checked through ease of access and some parts of the control panel but I still can't figure it out. What is the problem with it? Will provide more info if anyone needs it.

    :)

  2. Cursor Pointer does not move by Arrow-keys on the keyboard:

    Good morning

    My laptop is (Toshiba / Satellite / C55-A-1MW / PSCGJE), which comes with the keyboard (102-key / European layouts / Norwegian language), and (Windows 8.1 / 64-bit).

    After i have upgraded to (Windows 10 / Home), the arrow-keys on the right to the touch-pad stopped to function!

    Now i dis-activated the (NUM-LOCK), and use the arrows on the numeric keypad: (8 for: Up, 2 for: Down, 4 for: Left, 6 for: Right).

    Notes:

    1. Now, even when i open BIOS before Windows to startup, the arrows on the numeric keypad is the only available way to move the cursor.

    2. These arrow-keys do not function both whether when the (Scroll lock key) is activated or not.

    How to make the (Arrow-keys) function? Please advise.

    Thank you in advance.

    Have a nice day ...

    Arrow Keys not working in MS Office, Scroll Pages & Moving Cursor left and right

    Hi,

    I've seen quite a few other posts that have the same problem but pressing F7 /+ F4 and/or Scroll Lock (with Fn also) doesn't solve the problem for me.

    I know my arrow keys work because when I press Fn + the Arrow Keys OR Win + Arrow keys I do get the desired result (volume/brightness control and splitting my screen). However, I just cannot move from one cell to another on Excel and I cannot move my cursor
    left and right while typing. Neither do webpages scroll anymore.

    All was working until an hour ago and it just randomly stopped working.

    Any help is appreciated.

    TIA

    Cursor Pointer does not move by Arrow-keys on the keyboard:

    Hi Dennis, good evening

    Thank you very much for your interest to help.

    1. I have checked the (Scroll-Lock) toggle key:

    Settings/Ease of Access/Keyboard: On-Screen keyboard is set to On.

    Wether this toggle key is On or Off, the arrow-keys did not function.

    2. I have checked the task of the Function-key for my laptop, as per my understanding: i did not find any task that could affect my problem.

    3. i have checked the keyboard setting in Windows 10:

    The (Settings/Ease of Access/Keyboard) settings is now like this:

    # On-Screen Keyboard: Off.

    Note: To keep On-Screen Keyboard on the taskbar:

    Right-click the taskbar + “Show touch keyboard button”: enabled.

    The (Scroll-Lock) toggle key does not appear in this on-Screen keyboard, it is only appear in the on-Screen keyboard that is shown if i make it on according to that way in step no. 1.

    # Sticky Key: Off.

    # Toggle keys: Hear tone...: On + Turn-on by holdinf NUM-LUCK...: Off.

    # Filter Key: Off.

    # Other Settings (about Shortcuts): All are: On.

    4. i have checked the mouse setting in Windows 10:

    The (Settings/Ease of Access/mouse) settings is now: all Off.

    Note: the (NUM-LOCK) option has been made off, so the (numeric keypad) will function like this:

    ¤ NUM-LOCK is on: numbers.

    ¤ NUM-LOCK is off: arrows (mouse keys).

    5. I have checked the task of the BIOS settings for my laptop, as per my understanding: i did not find any task that could affect my problem.

    6. I have uninstalled the (Synaptics) application, then re-install the (Synaptics Windows 10 PS/2 & SMBus Devices v19.0.19.1) and the (Synaptics Windows 10 I2C Devices v19.0.19.1) from the company website, and lets all settings as defaults: This also did not
    help.

    7. I became really tired and upset of this problem, so i wrote my post here to get help.

    For your 2nd question: No, they arrow-keys did not function at all in all cases and applications

    What do you suggest?

    Have a nice evening ...
