Fixing Laptop Keyboard - HELP!!

#	Post
1	I have just been given a Sony Vaio laptop, running Windows 10 Home. It runs beautifully and has no problems except for a strange alteration to the keyboard layout. The keyboard currently prints these characters in response to the standard keys:- 123456789/ instead of 1234567890 qwerty456 instead of qwertyuiop zxcvbn0 instead of zxcvbnm It looks as if the keyboard has been modified to provide a set of numerical keys, but I want to restore the keyboard back to the normal layout. I tried plugging in an external PC keyboard, and that worked perfectly. I've been right through all the relevant settings regarding the laptop keyboard and I can't see anything to account for this, and none of the installed programs appear to have the ability to alter the keyboard in this way, and I can't find anything relevant on the 'net, so I'm baffled. Am I just missing something obvious (or has the keyboard contracted the Covid virus?) Anyone have any ideas/suggestions? brucerae - 2021-10-23 12:52:00
