Hello Unknown,
move to next or previous line only. Maybee there are hard line feeds, so that each line looks like a paragraph. Which file type and which viewer do You use? Ad Astra Yeti

What are you using to read the document in?
The behaviour of control up and down arrow will vary depending on which program you are using. So if I am trying to read text from a book in say Notepad then control down or up arrow will not work for navigation or reading.
If however I copy and paste the exact same text into say Word, Jarte or even WordPad then using control up and down arrow for reading by paragraph suddenly becomes available. This reading method also works on web pages. At least that is what happens here on my Windows 10 setup.
So if you need to read by paragraph you could simply copy and paste the relevant text from Notepad or whatever the program is that is not supporting this navigation into Word or WordPad to regain this behaviour.

The command does work but if you are in a text editor like Notepad, it
won’t. You have to be in a document such as a web page or a word processor
document where there is code in the document indicating a paragraph;.

The move by paragraph function in NVDA stops at hard returns. It also
stops at word processor code indicating a paragraph.
If you type perhaps three or four long sentences without pressing enter,
then press enter and type four or five more long sentences, see if the command
works to move you from one paragraph to the next. Since the two hard
returns you used to indicate the start of a new paragraph will be the only hard
returns in the document, you should move by paragraph.

You haven’t broken it. The command stops at every hard return.
It also stops at a paragraph symbol in a word processor or on an Internet
page. Try using the command in an Internet article. You will see
that it moves by paragraph.
If you use a word processor like Microsoft Word and start a new paragraph,
it will stop at the new paragraph. I almost never use Wordpad but if you
write a long line and press enter the command will move to the line after you
pressed enter and continued to type. I don’t know if that begins a new
paragraph in Wordpad but the command stops at every hard return and it also
stops at a paragraph symbol in a document.
