Page up or down jumps to cell in top row
This is a new problem for me. and I am battling when scrolling down in worksheets. (Office 2016)
Using page down the active cell automatically jumps to the top row, so when I start using the arrow key, I am at the top of the page again.
I have repaired and reinstalled excel with no luck. It is probably just a small setting, but I'm stuck.
I've checked scroll lock and i use freeze panes
Can anybody please help?

- I'm having the same problem in Excel 2021. It's very annoying and interrupts my workflow.
I was hoping someone has found a solution for this nagging issue!
- Same issue. I'm using the same spreadsheet that has worked great for years in Windows 10 and just got a new laptop using Windows 11 and began encountering this exact issue. On rare occasions when I first open the spreadsheet, it will work as expected but then it will start behaving as ShelaghW described.
Please fix this Microsoft! It is very difficult to navigate on large spreadsheets with this type of behavior. Not having this proper navigation feels like I'm using a competitors "sheet". I'm having the same issue, I assumed it was my laptop. Started happening a couple of days ago.
Precisely the same problem here in Slovakia; the issue started a week ago and driving me mad.
I thought my laptop was infected, but I can see now the virus is not a problem.
I use Windows 10 and MS Office 365
Reinstalling Ms Office did not help.
I am going to restore the computer from the image disk created three weeks ago.
Microsoft has not provided any solution yet ???- I just started having the same problem a few days ago. This is driving me crazy. Does anyone have a solution?
- I agree with all of the comments. I thought I was losing my mind. This is VERY irritating when you are trying to select thousands of records. If you go beyond the number of records you need and need to use the arrow keys to narrow your selection, it goes to the top of the column.
This is defeating the purpose we need it for and doubling our work! - Yes, this has been super annoying. Same thing when highlighting and paging up or down. Really hope there is a fix for this. Driving me crazy.
- Yes, it happens when highlighting and paging up or down, I don't have any choice for now but to deal with it 😞
