Windows 10: Num Lock beep won't disable AND Number Pad not typing numbers

I had a friend bring her laptop in. She has Windows 10

Previously the keyboard was disabled due to windows updates hanging.

I connected an external keyboard, connected to our wifi, and let windows updates finish and restart update 1909. It ran overnight and an hours or so into the morning once I logged on. Every thing seemed to be fine so I gave her the laptop back.


After a few days she calls back saying that her numlock key is making beeping noises. Incidentally, the Num Lock key on this laptop has no light.


I looked at the laptop and searched online. It appears that there is a feature in her Windows 10 laptop, underEase of Access / Keyboard called Toggle Keys.


I fiddled around with this but could not get the beep to go away. Also, the number pad would never type numbers BUT would allow it to work as arrow keys.


The Toggle Keys info in Win10 shows:


Use Toggle Keys

Play a sound whenever you press Caps Lock, Num Lock, or Scroll Lock.

[on / off]


It also has a check box below:

[ ] - Allow the shortcut key to start to start Toggle Keys

"Press and hold the Num Lock key for five seconds to turn on Toggle Keys"


I turned off the toggle and it toggles off/on the Caps Lock beep but not theNum Lock beep I did not find a Scroll Lock.


I left the Shortcut Key enabled/checked and held down the Num Lock key for five seconds. This did bring up a window asking if I wanted to turn onToggle Keys.

I played around with this but still the Number Pad would not type numbers and would either not do anything OR it would act as arrow keys.


Also, with Toggle Keys on or off, the Num Lock key would always make a beep. The beep has a higher note for being enabled and a lower note for being disabled. It does not matter if whatToggle Keys is set at nor if the Num Lock is on or off, theNumber Pad doesn't work.


Looking for a solution for turning off the beeping noise.

Num pad won't type numbers, just moves mouse

You have pressed NUM LOCK key, possibly accidentally. The key is on top left corner of num pad, it toggles num pad ON / OFF. When off, number keys work as mouse keys.

 

number pad


Did you press the Num Lock button? On mine by default it does what is listed under the numbers, the arrows etc. If I press the Num Lock key then the numbers work.

 

How to turn off beeping sound on num lock

OT- Num Lock Beep Sound

Hi

Yesterday I was seeing my settings and there i found Toggle Key Option which enables the sound when Caps lock key or Num lock key is pressed, then i enabled it and checked after that i Disabled it again. Today when i pressed num lock key i found that beep
sound is still on and the toggle key is disabled. Caps Lock key not making any sound only Num Lock key is making beep sound. I tried to enable it again and disable but then also it is making that beep sound and I found that number pad is also not working.
