Hi Gaya1239,

 

Many thanks for supporting me!

I met this Problem about 5 months ago.

I have just follow the advices concerning the system update settings but no others change.

I found very strange that only the right side numerical part of the keyboard has strange mixed print. For exemple, if I enter "7", it prints" /7", for "8", the 2 following char are printed : "*8". "/" entered result with "/7" and so on.

 

Data of my laptop:

HP LapTop 15-dw3xxx

Memory size: 16384

ID Product: 4K1G4E#UUZ

 

Windows 11 Famille

Version 23H2

Build: 22631.4460

 

Kindly Regards

Have a nice day

Hi @TOF1976,

 

Welcome to The HP Support Community.  

 

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

 

I understand you are facing an issue with your numeric keypad may have a hardware issue or a setting conflict. Here are steps you can take to troubleshoot and hopefully resolve the issue:

 

1. Test for Sticky or Damaged Keys

  • Inspect the Keyboard Physically:
    • Ensure no keys are stuck, especially Shift, Ctrl, or Alt keys, as they can cause unexpected input when combined with others.
    • Clean the keyboard using compressed air to remove any debris that might be causing interference.

2. Check the Num Lock State

  • Ensure that Num Lock is activated. If not, pressing the number keys may register as navigation or alternate symbols.
  • Try toggling Num Lock on and off to see if the behavior changes.

3. Reset Keyboard Settings

  • Windows Settings:
    1. Go to Settings > Time & Language > Language & Region.
    2. Under Keyboard Layout, ensure the correct layout is selected (e.g., US-QWERTY or French-AZERTY, depending on your preference).
    3. Remove any unnecessary layouts to prevent accidental switching.
  • Keyboard Driver Reinstallation:
    1. Open Device Manager (Win + X > Device Manager).
    2. Expand Keyboards.
    3. Right-click on your keyboard and select Uninstall Device.
    4. Restart your laptop. Windows will reinstall the keyboard driver automatically.

4. Test in Safe Mode

  • Boot into Safe Mode to determine if the issue is software-related:
    1. Restart your computer while holding Shift to access the Advanced Boot Options.
    2. Select Troubleshoot > Advanced Options > Startup Settings > Restart.
    3. Choose Safe Mode.
    4. If the issue disappears in Safe Mode, it may be caused by third-party software or keyboard mapping.

5. Disable Keyboard Shortcuts or Overlays

  • Check for software that might override your keyboard inputs (e.g., gaming software, macro tools, or accessibility settings).
  • Disable any active Sticky Keys or Filter Keys in Control Panel > Ease of Access > Make the Keyboard Easier to Use.

6. Test with an External Keyboard HP PCs - Testing for hardware failures

  • Connect an external USB or Bluetooth keyboard to confirm if the issue is hardware-specific.
    • If the external keyboard works fine, the built-in keyboard may need repair or replacement.

I hope this helps. 

 

Take care and have a good day.
