Windows 10: alphanumeric number keys

For some reason, my alphanumeric number keys won't work. I believe it is my keyboard. But I also have a feeling that it is due to my pc being broken/bugged. I have looked at the cable, and everything seems to be okay and connected. I have also restarted my pc, but none of those methods seem to work for me. The only numbers I can use on the alphanumeric keys are 5, 6, as well as their characters %, and ^.


Please tell me what I should do.


Thank you

:)

 

The alphanumeric keys by default when pressed give numbers instead of letters

Hi,

To assist you better, answer the below question.

1. What is the model number of the laptop?

2.Did you try connecting a external keyboard check if the issue persist?

As an initial step of troubleshooting, I suggest you try connecting an external keyboard and check if it the issue persist.

Also, I suggest you check if the issue persist on-screen keyboard.

I suggest you to try the below method and check if it helps.

Method:Hardware and devices troubleshooter

Windows 10 has a built-in troubleshooter to check and fix issues with hardware and devices. I would suggest you to run this troubleshooter to check if the issue is with your mouse.

Refer these steps:

• Press Windows key +X, select Control panel.
• Change the view by option on the top right to Large icons.
• Click on troubleshooting and click on the
  view all option on the left panel.
• Run the Hardware and devices troubleshooter.

Also,I suggest you to install any pending updates that are available on your system and check.

• Go to Settings > Update & Security >Windows Update > Check for Updates.


Hope the information was helpful. If you need further assistance, we will glad to assist you.

 

Product ID number only 20 alphanumeric characters - valid program

Can Microsoft determine if my computer is running a valid Windows 10 program if I only have a product ID number of 20 alphanumeric characters not a 25
alphanumeric Key number?

 

Current active users that are friends

The other reason I suggested this is that users can add characters to their username that are not alphanumeric (e.g. user*). This confuses things somewhat when looking at the list.
