  1. The Windows key + Arrow Key doesn't work like it used to. Is it possible to change it back...


    I used to press windows key + left arrow to move an app to the left side of the screen. Then I'd open another app and press windows key + right arrow to move the other app to the right side of the screen, allowing me to work in one app while reading or watching the other simultaneously. For people with only one screen this was very useful. It seems to be glitched in windows 10. Now when I try this, it doesn't move the apps to the side. It will move the first app to the left side correctly, but it creates a mini version of the other one, instead of filling the entire left side of the

  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?

  3. 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.

    Arrow Keys and Spacebar Not Working in Games

    • Are the arrow keys and spacebar key working fine other than online and steam games?
    • Did you make any recent hardware/software changes prior to this issue?
    • Do you face this issue in all online games and steam games?
    • Have you checked if there are settings to change the controls in the game?

    1. Yes for scrolling it works fine

    2. Not that i am aware of

    3. Yes all that use arrow keys and even WASD keys so not just limited to arrows

    4. Yes and they are set to the right keys!

    I'm Currently trying the troubleshooting now
