Numpad time control not working
Time control (0,1,2,3) is not working on the number pad. I have a Windows 10 and before had no problems using these shortcuts but now they will not work. 0 does nothing 1 takes all walls down 2 moves...

Try turning on/off num lock. It's a button right above the numbers. On my keyboard it just says NUM LK, so something like that.
I have tried that.
- did you do some sort of system/drivers update lately? do you have some impair accesibility option on? those can swap keys on your keyboard. you can even turn them on without noticing pressing quickly shift 5 times on a row.
I did do a system update a couple days ago. I do not have any impair accesibilty on I doubled checked to make sure (thank you for suggesting that I didn't think about it until you said something) I tried looking into my keyboard to see if there is anything that I can switch to help make it work but I don't see anything that jumps out. Any suggestions?
- check if num lock is on, that swaps the numeric board into arrows and page up/down if turned off. be aware maybe on a system reboot can turn itself off.
check in the control panel if there is no setting to manually swap it. for example if we talk about a laptop, to turn on num lock may be a combination of keys, or a bios/firmware setting, if you recently updated the firmware that can have swapped a setting to always turn off the num lock.
if it is a regular desktop pc, you can try on windows to unplug the board, wait like 30 seconds, then plug it back in. maybe on the update it used some weird driver not proper for your keyboard.
it could be a keyboard failure as well. did it get any damage, like a bump or liquid spilled? even the ones "water proof" that have a chassis with holes on the bottom, even those can get damaged as well. just examples of what could happen.
if if you have a spare/older keyboard to do tests, please plug it in if possible and test its not a keyboard problem.
