Windows 10: how do i fix the top letter row not working?

the first time this happened, it didn't work for a few seconds and then it worked again. this happened again 1-2 weeks later, but it was more longer. it kept on happening and now its really annoying. it hasn't been working for 2 days and I'm not sure what else to do. I've done deleting and reinstalling the keyboard driver and also tried finding the troubleshooter for the keyboard but I couldn't find it. I have a windows 11I'm not really sure to do to fix it, does anyone have any suggestions that have worked to stop this permanently??

the top row is not working

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

To better understand your query, please reply:

1. What do you mean by "top row not working" not working? Are you referring to keyboard top row keys?

I would suggest you to go to the safe mode and see if the problem persists.

To go to Safe mode follow the steps below:

• 
  Click on Windows key, and in the Power Options click on Restart while pressing the shift key.
  
• 
  A blue screen will appear with a few options.
  
  Click on Troubleshoot > Advanced Settings > Startup Settings > Restart.
  
• 
  Your system will automatically restart, press 4 or F4 key to go to the Safe Mode.
  

Awaiting your response.

Regards,

 

WORDAMENT - Unexpected bottom row behavior.

Bottom row of letters in WORDAMENT is not working properly.

• Expected behavior - can scroll over letters in bottom row and they will be used to form words with other, non bottom row words,
  
• Actual behavior - Scroll over letters in bottom row and non-bottom row letters that precede or follow use of the bottom row are not connected in forming a word.

Have uninstalled and reinstalled the application without change in behavior.



Is this a bug in the program, my OS or the device? Is there a work-around, patch or newer version that addresses this unexpected behavior?

 

How to fix top row number keys not working, except for 5 and 6

So, one day I went onto my PC, and I usually use the number keys from the top row instead of the number pad, but suddenly they don't work anymore.

The only top-row number keys that work is 5 and 6. I've tried a number of ways, including to do Ctrl+Alt+Fn or Ctrl+Windows Key+Fn but they don't work at all. My number pad works but it's annoying when I try to use the top rows and forget they don't work anymore. The rest of my keyboard works as fine as usual.

Does anyone know how to fix this?
