    Hi,

    You can try checking if Mouse Keys is turned on, as this can sometimes affect the number pad on the right side of your keyboard.

    For Windows 11:

    Go to Settings > Accessibility > Mouse, then make sure Mouse Keys is turned off.

    For Windows 10:

    Go to Settings > Ease of Access > Mouse, and ensure Mouse Keys is turned off.

    If it is already turned off, try turning it on first, then off again, and restart your computer to refresh the settings.

    I’ll be here for your update and ready to help until this is resolved. If you find the answer helpful, please feel free to rate the thread. Otherwise, leave a comment below if there's anything else I can help you with.

    Try these steps to troubleshoot the numeric keypad on the right side of the keyboard:

    1. Check if Num Lock is turned on
      • On many keyboards, the number pad only works when Num Lock is enabled.
      • Press the Num Lock key once, then test the number keys again.
      • Some keyboards have a light indicating Num Lock status; make sure it is on.
    2. Test with an external keyboard
      • Connect a USB or wireless external keyboard.
      • If the external keyboard’s number pad works correctly, the issue is likely with the built-in keyboard hardware.
      • If the external keyboard has the same problem, it may be a Windows setting or driver issue.
    3. Clean the keyboard
      • Debris under keys can cause intermittent issues.
      • Use compressed air to blow under the affected keys.
      • Wipe keys with a slightly damp microfiber cloth.
    4. Check if the issue appears in Safe Mode
      • Boot Windows into Safe Mode.
      • Test the number pad there.
      • If it works in Safe Mode, a third‑party app or driver may be interfering.
    5. If it is a laptop keyboard and only fails on first power‑up
      • Some systems have a bug after certain updates where the keyboard does not work correctly until a restart.
      • Restarting once after power‑on can temporarily fix it.
      • Turning off Fast Startup in Control Panel has resolved similar keyboard issues for many users.

    If, after these steps, only the built‑in number pad fails while an external keyboard works fine, the built‑in keyboard likely has a hardware fault and may need service or replacement.
