Hello, I have a problem with my Backspace button and looking for some help to resolve.
When viewing web pages I cannot use the Backspace button to go back to the previous page. For example before, when using this forum I could be looking at page 3 of the threads and when I wanted to go back to page 2 I would just press the Backspace button and it would take me back now I have to click the left arrow at the top left of page to take me back.
I am running windows 10 and Backspace button works when typing and is ok when using Microsoft Word.
I know its not a big problem but I would just like it to go back to what I had before. Any help would be most appreciated.
Thanks.
