    Hi,

    It is possible that you need to configure your keyboard layout that is why you still see it in the list even you already remove it. To address your issue, we suggest that you follow the steps on this

    thread     shared by DikkeryDok last October 27, 2017 to on how to remove additional language.

    Let us know if you need further assistance.

    Number pad that comes with Sculpt wireless keyboard.

    Hi,

    This problem may occur due to an outdated or corrupted device driver. For us to provide the best resolution possible, we'll be needing additional information:

    • Is the number pad device visible on Device Manager?
    • Is the wireless keyboard working on your computer?

    Meanwhile, we suggest following the troubleshooting steps provided on this
    article    . It contains information and basic troubleshooting steps regarding keyboard problems in Windows.

    We're looking forward to your reply.

    Keyboard problem in Windows 10

    Hi David,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I suggest you to check if the issue persists when you connect another keyboard to your system.

    If the issue is with the keyboard, then suggest you to update the keyboard drivers by following the steps below.


    • Press Windows key + X and select
      Device Manager       from the list.

    • Expand ‘Keyboard’ from the list.

    • Right click on the driver and select ‘update driver software’ and follow the prompts.

    Hope the information is helpful.
