ft and right arrow keys have no effect in TEAMS BUT left-arrow + CTRL moves left one word, and right-arrow + CTRL moves right one word. So it is clear the arrow keys on the keyboard are functioning and sending signals to the computer. I also tried my laptop built in keyboard & the number pad. All have the same effect. What could be making the arrows by themselves not work? (Up and Down arrows work normally.)
1. Is it a laptop or desktop computer?
Laptop
2. What is the make and model of the keyboard?
HP laptop keyboard & logitech external
3. Was it working fine earlier?
Yes at most an hour before
4. Were there any recent changes made on the computer prior to the issue?
No. Maybe I inadvertently hit some hot key?

Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
Lets see if we can hit 1000 comments on this issue while we dance the funky chicken around our PC's and salute the most bizarre apparent solution combination before Microsoft finds it useful to solve this trivial problem.
This happens randomly on Win11. To me (discovered accidentally) helps Ctrl/K (insert link) combination that allows moving cursor left and right again. Interestingly, the up and down arrows keep working all the time, it's only the left and right keys that stop working randomly during typing the text.
You can do all solutions and steps all day, everyday, but the issue keeps coming back immediately. Doesn't matter what version of Teams you are using.
ARROW KEYS ALWAYS STOP WORKING. ALWAYS!!!!
someone solve it already jesus
Likewise. Left/right keys not working as expected in "Type a new message" field. Lenovo Thinkpad- only a couple of weeks old. Logitech MK710 wireless keyboard. left/right keys work in all other applications as expected. Menu-Quit then launch again did fix it.
