Windows 10: UAE laptop keyboards not recognizing the number two key

My laptop keyboards in the UAE do not display the number two when pressed nor does it display the "at" symbol.I have changed keyboard layouts and languages between US English and UK English in order to see if this changes anything.I have the same issue on my MSi titan gt76, hp x360 and this ROG X Flow16. All are running windows 11.I installed sharp keys software as I read this may help with keyboard remapping and seen number two key is not recognized in the list of keys.When I cycle through the number keys I get the following:number one: 1number two: 'number three: 3number four: 4number five:

number two stuck on keyboard

Hi,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



This issue might be happening because of the faulty device.

1. Since when are you facing this issue?
   
2. Have you recently made any changes on the device?
   
3. What is the make and model number of the device?
   
4. Is this issue happening on Laptop or desktop keyboard?
   
5. Which Operating system is installed on your device?
   
   
   

Step 1: If the issue is causing with the faulty driver, run the Hardware Troubleshooter

1. Click on Start.
   
2. Search for Troubleshoot and click on it.
   
3. Click on Keyboard and Run the troubleshooter.
   

You may also refer the article to
fix issues related to keyboard in Windows.



Step 2: You can also try with “Onscreen keyboard” to check the working of numeric key.

1. Open run command (Windows and R key), type in
   OSK.
   
2. Use the numeric 2 and check the status.
   

If the issue is only with the specific numeric key (Number 2), I suggest you to check with the manufacturer for the further assistance.



Hope it helps.

Windows 10 Laptop Keyboard Keys Acting Strange

Hi,

I realize that you are facing issues with the keyboard on your PC. I will try to help you with this issue.

Suggest you to plug in an external keyboard to the laptop to check if that helps.

Further you may also use the onscreen keyboard to check if that helps.

Follow these steps to launch the On-screen keyboard:

• 
  Press Windows key + R to get the run window.
  
• 
  Type “osk” and hit enter to launch the On-screen keyboard and check if this helps.
  

Keep us informed to help you further.

Thank you.

 

Some keyboard keys stopped working after windows 10 upgrade

Has the Notebook been worked on? Do any of those keys work if holding down the Shift key? Have you used compressed air to blow out any crud that may be blocking the keys?

It's not expensive nor hard to replace the keyboard, usually can find a video or step-by-step articles on the 'net.
