How To Unlock Scroll Lock In Laptop

Unlock Scroll Lock In Laptop

Scroll Lock is a feature on most laptops that helps navigate 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 interruptions. We'll cover the different methods you can use to disable Scroll Lock on notebooks. So, let's get started!

What Is Scroll Lock In Excel?

The scroll lock feature manages the function of the arrow keys in Excel.

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.

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

The Keyboard's scroll lock key impacts how the pointer navigates through documents. It just lets 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.

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 the 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 your Keyboard's "Pause/Break" and "Num Lock" buttons. 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" legend 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, frequently marked as ScrLk, to turn off the scroll lock.
