keyboard issue (arrow key)

Question

I have a small problem with my keyboard; when "Num Lock" is activated, the arrow keys type numbers instead of allowing me to move the cursor with those same keys like before.
Does anyone know how to restore my keyboard to normal?

Is it a generic keyboard (102 keys I think) or is it a branded keyboard for which you can download drivers (Logitech, Microsoft...)
Have you checked in the Control Panel under the keyboard tab if there's anything special?
In the device manager, try uninstalling your keyboard then restart your computer, it will reinstall it.
See you!

Hello

It's normal, the num lock is meant to activate the keys with numbers. By disabling the num lock, you switch back to the arrow keys, so you just need to press the num lock key, the light should turn off and that's it.

However, this depends on the computers, but on startup, the num lock usually activates automatically, which is normal since numbers are used much more than the arrows, which for me have never been useful!

The problem is that before, with the num lock activated, I could move the cursor with the arrow keys, but I messed up with my keyboard and now it's not working...
I would like to know how to reset it to zero like when I bought the computer :)

Good evening Are you talking about the keys on the numeric keypad that have arrows (2, 4, 6, 8) or the navigation keys located to the left of the numeric keyboard? See you!

Good evening,

Your story is quite strange; you say that before you could move the cursor, but in which software, in Word, in a game???

In my opinion, it's probably your software that is acting up since the Num Lock key is meant to activate the numeric keys, and this is true for all keyboards...

And can you also tell me what you think the purpose of the arrow keys is? As I mentioned, I personally never use them because right next to them there are also four arrows that allow you to do the same thing as on the numeric keypad..

Hello, I would like to control the cursor using the keyboard; that is to say, ignore the mouse actions and switch to keyboard mode; but I can't do it. How can I do that?

I think you have a wireless keyboard, try changing the batteries first and then redo the connection method between your keyboard and its receiver (press the connect button on the receiver first, then on the keyboard). I had the same problem with the direction keys (not the numeric keys) that start typing even though they're not meant to do that...

Change the batteries
press the connect button on your box
press the connect button on your keyboard

everything should get back to normal.
