Windows 10: Numeric number pad on keyboard not loading

I had my computer was in the shop and now my numeric number pad is not activated when it starts. I have researched the help and some solutions did not work or are difficult to do. Is there an easy way to have it lock up to work when you log on. Pleasing the loc button for 5 seconds works but is a pain.

Keyboard Numeric Pad

Numeric Key Pad does not work for Numbers and that is true for 5 different Keyboards attempted. Some Wireless and some tethered. Must be a Win 10 glitch. Any Solutions?

 

windows + number with numeric pad

I'm looking for how to use Win + number shortcut to open programs using the numeric pad instead of the qwerty keys. Using Windows 10 I'm really used to having my high runner apps pinned to the task bar and use the "win + #" shortcut to open them but for some reason I can't use this with the numeric keypad numbers of the wired keyboard (numlock or not). Not sure if this is programmed behavior from windows or an actual keyboard setting. I prefer using keypad instead of qwerty numbers just because of hand placement. Any ideas hot to enable or workaround?
