Windows 10: "Mouse keys" behavior started after Windows auto-rebooted and promoted Win11. Mouse keys...

This is why so many of us have trust issues with Windows updates. My computer rebooted overnight without warning, and against my wishes. Then I was faced with "encouragement" to upgrade to Win11, which I declined. Then VSCode appeared to have self-uninstalled. This remedied itself after I established a WiFi connection. But now my sprite moves whenever I use the arrow keys. In settings, "Control your mouse with your keypad" is already off and was never on.Meanwhile I have a list of many things that I would like to see fixed in Windows and its apps, but year-after-year, none of these ever seem

Left key mouse

Hi Don,

• Is this on your laptop?
• If it is, are you using the touch-pad and associated keys (please supply name and version of touch-pad) or do you have a separate mouse with USB dongle (please supply name and version of mouse)?

 

Mouse Keys will not turn off

Hi Casey,

Thank you for a detailed description of your issue. Since you've already tried unchecking the option
Use the numeric keypad to move the mouse and still getting the same result, I suggest that you also turn off the option
Use mouse keys when NumLock is on. On the Change sign-in settings, select the
Make the mouse easier to use > Select Set up Mouse Keys, then make sure to unchecked
or turned off the following click Apply, then OK.

• Turn on Mouse Keys - Use the numeric keyboard to move the mouse the screen.
• Use Mouse Keys when NUM LOCK is Off.

Once done, go back to the Change sign-in settings, then this time click the
Make keyboard easier to use, then unchecked the
Turn on Mouse Keys. Click Apply, then OK.

Once done, close your Control Panel page and check if Mouse Keys still enables automatically.

If you have additional questions, or if the issue persists after the troubleshooting steps above, please let me know by replying to this thread. This way, I'll get notified and respond back to you as soon as I can.

Regards.

 

Gaming with mouse keys

Hi Shawn,

The issue that you are experiencing is usually caused by an outdated or incompatible driver. To resolve this issue, we recommend that you update the mouse's driver by following the steps provided in this

article. Also, we would like to verify the following information:

• Ave you tried using the mouse and experience the same behavior?
• By saying that the pointer is not syncing, are you saying that the pointer goes missing when you switch program?
• Are you playing the game in full screen?

We'll be waiting for your response.
