    How do I use ALT codes in Windows 11 Home and disable the ALT windows menu?


    As long as I can remember I could hold ALT+241 and get ± when using Word, AutoCAD, or any other software. I bought a new computer and it does not have a number pad and this function does not work. How do get this to work? Is there a way to get this function on the top row of number keys?

    :)
