Comments on: How to turn off Scroll Lock in Excel

Just imagine this. You are working in Excel when all of a sudden you notice that you cannot move from cell to cell normally - instead of getting to the next cell, your arrow keys scroll the whole worksheet. Don't panic - simply turn the Scroll Lock off. Continue reading →

  27. My excel workbooks contain many worksheets and there is a need to jump quickly to and from each worksheet.
    I used to be able to scroll between each worksheet by scrolling with my touchpad, but this has just stopped working. I have to now tap one worksheet at a time or go through the 'left click / right click / see all sheets' process which is time consuming. It is if something has been switched on or off. Any ideas please. With thanks, Ronald

    1. hold down the CTRL button and then tap page up or page down to move through the Excel worksheets.

  28. It helps a lot

  29. Wow, almost life saver (at least big annoyance saver :-)...

    Fn+C works like a charm on my HP laptop. Even I think to use it to enable scroll lock which can be useful during a discussion/presentation/review.

    How did you come up with Fn+C? Is there a complete list of FN+letter somewhere for HP laptops?

  30. Thank you so much - It was really helpful !

  31. This was helpful. Thanks.

  37. Thanks for this. Fn+C is rescuerer.

  38. Super-helpful - Thank you!

    Toggle Scroll Lock on HP laptops
    On an HP laptop, press the Fn + C key combination to turn Scroll Lock on and off.

  39. Thanks a lot for the help! I have Lenovo and although the Virtual Keyboard works, my combination is Fn + C! Again thanks.

    1. Thanku so much

  40. Thank youu!!!

  41. Although i disabled "scrnlock" from excel but it didn't work. It worked via "On-Screen Keyboard". Thank you for your tutorial.

  42. Thanks much. You are a saviour.

  43. None of these options worked for me. On a Dell keyboard without a Scroll Lock or online Keyboard. Fn+S and Fn +C does absolutely nothing. This is a major pet peeve of mine... how do I fix it?

  44. Thanks for the learnings..

  45. Thank you so much for the help....

  46. Thank you!

  47. This is amazing. The internet is virtually flooooooded (!!) with this massively pointless advise on how to unlock scroll lock using on-screen keyboard. I am truly amazed at this. How can sooooo many people deliberately choose to answer this wrong??

    The problem is that everyone(!) ever googling this problem, has somehow accidentally clicked a keyboard combo that results in Scroll lock. But then why,....oh why...(!?), don't people talk about what the keyboard shortcut IS to toggle scroll lock? I don't want to NOT know how scroll lock is suddenly and accidentally enabled, but know how to go to OSK every time(!) to disable it... :))))))))))

    Please just say:

    You accidentally clicked this XYZ keyboard combo which is set as shortcut for enabling scroll lock. Please try to avoid the combo in the future, unless deliberate, and whenever it happens by accidnet, use keyboard shortvcut combo ABC to disable it.

    Also, if you want to disable the keyboard shortcut combo for scroll lock entirely, then do this....!

    1. On ThinkPads it's function key + K.

  48. In DELL laptop use "Shift+F6"

  49. It worked and thanks a lot

  50. Dear Author,

    Thanks a lot for this informative Page. This is very helpful for me to unlock the Scroll on my Excel File.

    Have a great day.
