To unlock (turn off) Scroll Lock on a laptop, try the following methods:
- If the keyboard has a Scroll Lock (ScrLk) key, simply press it to toggle Scroll Lock off.
- On some laptops without a dedicated Scroll Lock key, use a key combination:
- Dell laptops: press Fn + S
- HP and Lenovo laptops: press Fn + C
- ThinkPads: Fn + K
- If none of these options work or there is no Scroll Lock key, use the On-Screen Keyboard feature:
- Open the On-Screen Keyboard by pressing Windows key, then typing "On-Screen Keyboard" and selecting it from search results.
- On the On-Screen Keyboard, click the ScrLk key to turn off Scroll Lock.
- Close the On-Screen Keyboard.
These solutions let you unlock Scroll Lock on most laptops even when the key is missing or hidden behind function keys.
