@ourdotcomguy, Welcome to the HP Support Community!
Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding Enable and Disable Num Lock on HP PCs Using On-Screen Keyboard!
We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.
If your HP wireless keyboard does not have a physical Num Lock key, you can use the on-screen keyboard to enable or disable the Num Lock function. Here is a step-by-step guide:
Open On-Screen Keyboard:
- In Windows, search for "On-Screen Keyboard" and open it.
Access Keyboard Options:
- Click on the "Options" button in the On-Screen Keyboard.
Enable Numeric Keypad:
- In the Options window, select the "Turn on numeric keypad" checkbox, and then click "OK".
Activate Num Lock:
- The On-Screen Keyboard now displays a numeric keypad. Click "NumLock" to enable the numeric keypad.
This method will allow you to control the Num Lock state even if your physical keyboard does not have a Num Lock key.
Hope this helps!
Take care, and have an amazing day!
