Found the problem with my 2 ASUS laptops.
āUse numeric keypad to move mouse around the screenā option in the Ease of Access section of the Settings menu. To do so, you need to:
Open the Start Menu.
Click on Settings.
Click on Ease of Access.
Click on Mouse in the left pane.
In the right pane, under Mouse keys, make sure that the Use numeric keypad to move mouse around the screen option it turned off.
How is that for a hidden setting that makes no sense
