Windows 10: Turning off Mouse Keys turns off my mouse pointer

So every now and then Mouse Keys gets turned on. I'm not sure how, maybe some keyboard shortcut gets accidentally pressed to turn it on while I'm cleaning it? Anyways, I went to turn it off and when I do, it disables my mouse pointer. How do I fix this?

I can't use my numpad, and anytime I hit "NUM" on it, it will make a hardware BEEP sound. Turning off Mouse Keys fixes that, but now disables the mouse pointer -- why?

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.

 

I can't turn Mouse Keys off

The Mouse Keys function suddenly turned on for my Windows 10 and I can't turn it off. I've searched around on how to disable Mouse Keys, and I've done both options that I've been told. The option is turned off in the Mouse section in Ease of Access. Yet Mouse Keys is still running.

And in the Ease Access Center in the Control Panel, I also have Mouse Keys turned off, yet once again it's still running.

Any idea how I can fix this? Thanks
