    Both up arrow and period key on numpad not working


    I'm not sure if this has anything to do with it, but I tried to get my computer to keep the numlock on at startup and the instructions said to go to registry editor > hkey_users then I changed the data value in "Initialkeyboardindicators"


    Does anyone have the original value for that? I think it all started after I tried that and it didn't even work to get my numpad to stay on. If not then what else could the problem be? Any help appreciated

    :)

    down arrow key stopped working

    My razor lycosa down arrow key decided to not respond at some point today. The other ones work and so does the numpad arrow if i turn off the numlock. Sounds like its just broken and im screwed, but any suggestions?

    Down Arrow Key and Numpad 2 not Working (Windows 10)

    Who knows this problem that I am facing for few months that 2 buttons are not working like down arrow key and numpad 2. Down Arrow Key I used the most in games and it stopped working. My keyboard is new.

    Why is causing this problem? I tried to find out the solution for days and I didn't found anything yet. Other buttons are working fine but only those 2 buttons are not working when I tap to them in game does not respond.

    Both up arrow and period key on numpad not working

    Since update numpad doesn't work properly anymore

    Good evening,

    On a HP Pavilion dv7 laptop, since a Windows10 update two days ago (version 1511, OS 10586.104), my numpad has gone nuts.

    For example :

    • key 2 writes 72, locks caps and opens a Bing search for "help with windows 10"
    • key 3 writes *3wc
    • key / writes /4 and triggers a menu for alternative screens
    • etc...
    Here is what I already attempted :

    • uninstall and reinstall keyboard
    • add an alternative language keyboard
    • check "ease of access" options
    • try the numpad in the BIOS : it works fine
    • try the numpad in safe mode, now read this : it worked fine ! I restarted in normal mode and the keyboard worked fine also for a minute or so. Then it went crazy again. Now it doesn't work in safe mode anymore.
    Any suggestion welcome,

    Thank you for your help
