Num Pad 3 does not do anything, any way to fix this?

For quite a while, my num pad 3 doesn't do anything when I press it(the page down functionality of the key doesn't happen either, as if the input isn't registered), all other keys work fine, pressing num lock does not fix it, I have also replaced my keyboard and the problem still persisted. I don't remember exactly what happened, but I think I had it set as a bind for a program I used to attempt to pair a bluetooth dongle to my dualshock 4 and I have long since uninstalled said program, though it could easily have been a completely different program I bound the key to. Either way that's my best guess as to what happened, i have tried resetting keyboard settings by changing keyboard languages and this has not produced any results. I'd appreciate any help, thanks in advance.

    Good Day Shuppy,

    If the keyboard works using a different device you may consider to perform clean installation, save all your important files in a external drive to prevent data loss and proceed with clean installation.

    As my original post says, I had this problem with my previous keyboard, this is my replacement keyboard. I've tried this keyboard with a laptop that I have available and it works fine.

    No dice, the troubleshooter doesn't come up with anything either.
