hello, i have this issue where where the press the numbers on my keyboard, (the one to zero above qwerty) open the search bar, if im on a search engine it opens the search bar on that search engine and shows the phrase "Search Bing" or "Search Google" before the actual thing im going to type appears. And also when i try to type more than one of the same number, it selects the entire search and resets it. Please help. I really want to play roblox but i need my number keys.

    1

    Open Command Prompt, then run this command and press Enter:

    msdt.exe -id KeyboardDiagnostic

    Run that Keyboard Troubleshooter to see if that can solve the problem.

    2

    If that does not resolve this for you

    Open Device Manager

    Expand the Keyboards section

    Right click your keyboard and choose 'Uninstall'

    Then restart your PC

    3

    If the problem is still not resolved:

    Bring up the on-screen keyboard, are those keys working correctly on that keyboard?

    Connect another external keyboard to your system, are those keys working correctly on that keyboard?
