To turn off Scroll Lock when using a keyboard with an F12 key, you can usually press the "Scroll Lock" key directly if it exists on your keyboard. If your keyboard doesn’t have a dedicated Scroll Lock key, you can try pressing "Fn" + "C" or "Fn" + "K," depending on your keyboard's layout. Alternatively, you can check the On-Screen Keyboard in Windows by searching for it in the Start menu, where you can toggle Scroll Lock off.
hit scroll lock and again and it will go off push the scroll lock key on the upper right of your key board

Somehow my scroll lock key went on...(my son maybe?) I have no idea how to turn it off. I have an HPkeyboard. Can anyone advise please?
You must have the Scroll Lock on. Press the Scroll Lock key to turn it off.
If the cursor will not move from cell to cell the best option is the check the scroll lock key. If the light on the right side of the key board is lit for scroll lock made sure it is turned off.
The scroll is locked.
Try pressing the 'Number Lock' key once to turn if off and see if it helps. Tapping the 'Fn' key five times may also work, however the first option worked for me.

A Staff Report from the Straight Dope Science Advisory Board = What's the "Scroll Lock" key on my computer for? = October 7, 2003 Dear Straight Dope: Why does my computer keyboard have this "Scroll Lock" key that seems to serve no purpose whatsoever? In 15 years I don't remember ever pushing that button. I'm almost scared to touch it - Insanegrey, Lawrence, KS Although your mother told you that there are many things to avoid touching (like downed electric lines, scorpions, and the "naughty place"), don't be afraid to touch the Scroll Lock key. Nothing bad will happen - in fact, probably nothing at all will happen. Once upon a time, however, something did. The Scroll Lock key has appeared on the keyboards of IBM personal computers since the original 83-key PC/XT and the 84-key AT layouts, and remains on the 101-key and greater "enhanced" keyboards currently in use. The Scroll Lock key wasn't on the original Macintosh keyboards but appears on the Mac's "enhanced" keyboard. The main intent of the Scroll Lock key was to allow scrolling of screen text up, down and presumably sideways using the arrow keys in the days before large displays and graphical scroll bars. You can see where this might have been handy in the DOS era, when screen output typically was limited to 80 characters wide by 25 rows deep. For some types of programs, spreadsheets being the obvious example, it's still handy now. In Microsoft Excel, Scroll Lock allows you to scroll a spreadsheet with the arrow keys without moving the active cell pointer from the currently highlighted cell. In Quattro Pro, another spreadsheet program, Scroll Lock works in a similar manner, although in contrast to Excel it's not possible to scroll the active cell pointer completely off the screen. Other programs use Scroll Lock for special functions. It's said (although I haven't personally verified this) that the Linux operating system as well as some early mainframe and minicomputer terminals employed Scroll Lock to stop text from scrolling on your screen in command-line sessions - pausing the scrolling, in effect. The ancient DOS adventure game "Rogue" (one of my all-time favorites) used Scroll Lock to scroll your character's movement through the ASCII dungeons on the display. I'm told some computers in the late 1980s used the Scroll Lock key to halt the scrolling of the boot-up messages that appeared when you started the computer. This last use may be apocryphal, as I could find no examples of computers that displayed this behavior. The point is, Scroll Lock sometimes does something besides make that little light light up.
