    Is there a way to completely disable the numpad on my desktop?


    I've obviously tried the NUMLOCK key but that only disables the actual numbers. The ENTER key and * / etc. still function. Also the NUMPAD numbers act like arrow keys for moving the cursor. Due to my desktop set up I use a pillow to prop up my arm and it hits the numpad and jacks things up when I'm trying to game.

    Any ideas?

    Numpad lock getting disabled all the time

    I am so pissed and annoyed with the behavior of my HP notebook. This model doesn't have an LED to indicate if the Numpad is activated or not. It's extremely frustrating how often it's getting disabled at start-up, it's
    hell.

    I know there is a setting in the BIOS, it's set so the Numpad is activated upon start (I might have to doublecheck it though, just in case). Windows 10 also has registry keys to set Numpad to active on start-up, I set
    all these keys (current user, etc.) to "80000002", which means Numpad active.

    And yet, time and time again the pest goes back to being deactivated.

    I also set a vbscript that runs on start-up and sets the status of Numpad to active. None of this is working!!

    At times it works, but it's not consistent. It's most definitely a Windows issue.

    I just noticed that some start-up program or setting is disabling the Numpad on start-up. I noticed this when as soon as the computer started, before it had loaded everything, I opened Notepad and tested
    the Numpad, it was working. Then after Windows loaded a few more things, it disabled the Numpad.

    Any ideas what could fix this? I'm so frustrated with this notebook, it's hell.

    Is there a way to completely disable the numpad on my desktop?

    A Numpad and Numkey Suggestion

    Ok so I own a laptop and I like to sit down on my bed while I put my mouse pad and mouse on the keypad/numpad area because its comfortable but the actual keys on the numpad and the numpad itself is incredibly annoying when I'm watching YouTube or doing or
    things like that and resting my hand and mouse on there make it press things that reset the video or just do things that are incredibly annoying and mess everything up.

    Could there be an update or an option in the settings to disable the right side of the keyboard or the numpad area altogether please, If that were to happen I would be incredibly thankful and very happy my suggestion actually had a positive impact on my
    computer.
