Sometimes abbreviated as ScLk, ScrLk, or Slk, the Scroll Lock key is found on a computer keyboard, often located close to the pause key. While not often used today, the Scroll Lock key was originally intended to be used in conjunction with the arrow keys to scroll through the contents of a text box. It has also been used to stop the scrolling of text or halt the operation of a program. The picture shows what a Scroll Lock key with an LED may look like on a keyboard.
Where is the Scroll Lock key on the keyboard?
The Scroll Lock key is labeled as one of the abbreviations mentioned earlier and located with or near the other control keys on the keyboard. Below is an overview of a computer keyboard with the Scroll Lock key highlighted in blue.
NoteOn Apple computer keyboards, the Scroll Lock key may be missing and have an F14 function key instead.
Where is a Scroll Lock key on a laptop keyboard?
The Scroll Lock key on a laptop is often a secondary function of another key, located near the Backspace key. If a laptop is using two keys as one key, you must press the Fn key with the second key you want to use. On a laptop, the ScrLk, Pause, and Break functions are usually part of another key and are in blue text.
To use these keys, press the Fn key and the key with the blue text you want to use. In the example picture, Scroll Lock is actually part of the Num Lk key, so you would need to press the Fn key and the Num Lk key to execute the Scroll Lock functionality.
NoteWhen it comes to laptops, there is no standard placement for these keys. Your laptop may not have the same configuration as shown in the picture.
NoteSmaller, more compact laptops may not include a Scroll Lock key.
Example of Scroll Lock being used today
Microsoft Excel is a good example of a software program that still uses this key. If Scroll Lock is enabled on the keyboard, pressing any of the arrow keys results in the screen moving in that direction, but the selected cell will not change.

Are you looking for a way to change the keyboard language in Windows? There are occasions where you might need to do this such as when you buy a used computer and the keyboard is set to another language or if you need to type something in a foreign language instead of English.
You can easily change the keyboard language from French to English, US to UK, etc. by modifying a few settings in the Windows Control Panel. You can do this by changing the language and keyboard settings.
It’s worth noting that when you switch languages in Windows, the settings are configured per application. You have to change the input language depending on which program you are using. This is very easily done using the language bar that shows up automatically when you add another language in Windows. I’ll also explain using the language bar at the bottom of this article.
Change Keyboard Language in Windows 8/Windows 10

Using the Language Bar
When you install a new language in Windows, it automatically enables the language bar. This is really useful for quickly switching between languages in Windows. You’re probably not going to be typing in one language for every application, so the language bar makes it easy to switch.
You’ll see the language bar in your taskbar with letters to denote the language you are currently using. If you click on it, a list will appear and you can simply click on another language to select it.
Now you can open an application like Word, select the language from the language bar and start typing. You should see the characters for your language appear as you type.
That’s about it! So if you want to type in another language, such as a foreign language, or if you want to switch the keyboard language back to English, the above steps should solve your problem! Enjoy!
