Windows 10: Number keys not working

I have a sumsung laptop and everything was working fine yesterday. Today, certain number keys and the caps lock are disabled. I have checked the drives and settings and everything seems correct.

Numbers Keys On Numeric Keyboard Not working in Windows 10?

There is too much long complicated fussy information to weed though about this but I managed to take a suggestion from another thread for an HP user and fixed this problem with two keystrokes. I use a new Dell.

Press and hold the FN key then hold down the Numbers Lock key and I got my numbers keys on numeric key pad back working again instantly. I hope you can cut through all the long winded answers and you find this and it works for you as it did for me.

I don't understand why these experts can't find more simpler solutions... Most all the suggestions require many complicated steps and this one is not even suggested that I could find when searching under windows 10... Certainly nothing recent in searches
came up and I searched on and off for two days. Maybe it's not much of a problem anymore?
