CNTRL + up/down not working along with certain fn keys and I tried to troubleshoot keyboard

Hi, I am in the process of learning quicker ways around excel and for some reason my cntrl up/down doesn't work but left right does. Certain fn commands also don't work like shift fn f8. I troubleshooted the keyboard and made sure scroll lock is off but still no dice.

    lhiggins808 Perhaps Fn lock is on? Does Control+Fn+Up (down) work instead by any chance?

    If only manufacturers would design laptop keyboards with the Excel power user in mind!

      JKPieterse Nope fn lock is off. I tried that and it still doesn't work. I've been searching the internet for a few days and can't find an answer

        Does pushing the up and down arrow keys work as expected in Excel?
        Do you have any apps installed which use these keyboard shortcuts? Powertoys comes to mind?
