  1. Calculator: Numpad Minus key no longer recognized as Substraction


    HelloFrench keyboard here,Before some update few weeks ago, the minus - key on my numpad would just make the susbstract operationLike if I wanted to do:8 - 1 =I would type on my numpad the keys: 8, minus, 1, enter.Now, for some reason, the minus key just convert to a negative number!When I type : 8, minus, 1, enter, but it does :8 + minus --> -8 + 1 --> -81If I want to make a substraction, I have to use the keyboard minus key key 6 on a french keyboard.This is dumb.Please how do I correct this? Does anyone have an idea.Thanks!PS: the calc is in Standard more

  3. 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
