I am having a problem with my zero key not working . Since it is happening on multiple keyboards I assume it has something to do with software. I have uninstalled keyboard drivers and reinstalled them to no avail. The weird thing is if I reset my computer so I have to use the windows login window the key works in the password window? If someone could help me I would really appreciate it. I have seen other people with the same problem online and they fixed it by using the function lock button on their laptops, the problem is I do not have this button because I am using desktop keyboards. I have two Corsair keyboards a K63 and a Strafe and also a old Razer keyboard. Thank you.

This application is meant to open up on login which is why I could still type 0 in the login password window. I'm Dumb, thanks anyway hopefully this will help someone else who has the same problem.

(can not hurt to check for bios default keyboard states for certain keys)
