Unlock Scroll Lock In Laptop

Scroll Lock is a feature found on most laptops that can be useful for navigating large spreadsheets or documents. However, it can also be a nuisance when accidentally enabled. If you're having trouble turning off Scroll Lock, don't worry! In this article, we'll show you how to unlock Scroll Lock on your laptop so you can get back to work without any interruptions. We'll cover the different methods you can use to disable Scroll Lock on laptops. So, let's get started!

What Is Scroll Lock In Excel?

The function of the arrow keys in Excel is managed by the scroll lock feature.

The arrow keys often allow you to go between individual cells in any direction when the Scroll Lock is off: up, down, left, or right.

The worksheet area is scrolled by one row up and down or one column to the left or right when Excel's Scroll Lock is enabled. The currently chosen selection (a cell or range) stays the same when the worksheet is scrolled.

The keyboard's scroll lock key has an impact on how the pointer navigates through documents. It serves just to let you scroll between spreadsheets in Microsoft Excel without pointing the cursor to the page edge and is a holdover from the days of DOS-based computers. Turning off the scroll lock on your keyboard is a straightforward process.

Step 1

Look at your keyboard's upper-right corner. A separate key for scroll lock will be present on older keyboards. Press the "Scroll Lock" button if you can find it. You have taken away the scroll lock.

Step 2 

Find the "Function" or "FN" key on more recent keyboards. This key is typically found on the bottom row of a keyboard between "Alt" and "Ctrl." Find the "Pause/Break" and "Num Lock" buttons on your keyboard. These buttons are typically located above the number pad on a keyboard's top row.

Step 3

Press the "FN" key and either the "Pause/Break" key or the "FN" and "Num Lock" key at the same time to release the scroll lock. Scroll Lock Off will be indicated by a message at the bottom of the screen.

Press the Scroll Lock key on your keyboard, which is frequently marked as ScrLk, to turn off the scroll lock.
