I have a Asus Vivo, 2.6 I5, 6Gb of RAM, Windows 8.1 updated. Some keys are putting in wrong characters - 0 gives / , p gives *, and / gives +

I have tried restoring and changing keyboard layout with no fix. When I restart, before windows runs it seems correct as password contains a 0. But once it is booted, the key gives wrong character and I have to use display keyboard.

yes, I checked the function key is up. And no, they don't have those characters on them. The 0 has ) , the p only has p, and the / has ? printed. It is not the numberlock option either.

I finally did a safe mode restore and it fixed the issue. It must have been a corrupted Microsoft update.

Found this on another site and it worked for me. The problem is numlk.

Open up notepad and copy/paste:

set WshShell = CreateObject("wScript.Shell")
WshShell.SendKeys "{NUMLOCK}"

Now save as numlkonoff.vbs

If you double click this then it will turn the num lock on and off.

Cheers,
