Lenovo Laptop number keys 12347890 don't work only 5 and 6 do

There was an old thread with this subject with several people that had this problem, but it is locked, so I'm starting a new thread because I found a solution that worked for me that I thought I would share in case it helps you too.

I've tried several things, but ultimately worked were 2 things. I disabled / uninstalled the Lenovo HotKeys app and that worked temporarily but the problem came back. Then I

FIRST...

Try this suggestion first.  If my suggestion either does not work or works temporarily, then I'd recommend uninstalling the Lenovo Hotkeys app (see SECOND STEP), then come back and do this step again.

Back to my solution... I randomly tried something else, and it worked... Open any app that you can type in (notepad, word, etc.) or go to the online keyboard test site at: https://en.key-test.ru

Then hold down the #1 button for several seconds until it starts to repeatedly type on the screen.  Once you see that, you can test the other numbers that did not used to work before.  All the numbers on the keyboard should now be functional.  It has been a few days not and my keyboard is still functional.

SECOND (HOTKEYS APP)...

1. Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager. 2. Go to the Startup tab. 3. Find Lenovo Hot Keys Application in the list. 4. Right-click and select Disable. Alternatively, you can uninstall the application via the Control Panel: 1. Press Windows key + X and select Apps and Features. 2. Find Lenovo Hot Keys Application in the list. 3. Click on it and select Uninstall.

Good luck!!!
