The problem occurs on the keyboards without a dedicated digital key block (which is on the right side on the "large" keyboards), but with the ability to make the part of the keys with letters you can use for a quick digit set, such a function is on many modern laptops and in This case, the U, I, O, J, K, L keys have signatures with numbers, in addition to Russian letters.

What to do if the laptop prints the numbers and not letters
So, if you faced the specified problem, carefully look at the keyboard of your laptop and pay attention to the similarities with the photo presented above. Do you have such numbers on the j, k, l keys? And key Num Lock. (Num LK, NM Lock, NMLK), located in the upper row (and usually combined with another key)? On some laptops, the same key may have a type of lock with a numeral or letter, which is shown in the video instructions below, in which you will also see some other options for the desired key.
If there is, it means that you accidentally turned on the Num Lock mode, and part of the keys in the right area of the keyboard began to print numbers (this may be convenient in some cases). In order to enable or disable Num Lock on a laptop, you usually need to press the keyboard shortcut. Fn + Num Lock , Fn + f11 or just Numlock (without a combination with Fn) - then on some laptops (may depend not only on the brand and model, but also from the settings), the inclusion and shutdown of the NUM LOCK function occurs when pressed in combination with Fn, on some - without such a combination, and simply pressing Num Lock, Check both options. The text of the Num Lock lettering on the key can be abbreviated, but always easily guessed.
It may be that on your model of a laptop it is done somehow differently, but when you know what exactly needs to be done, usually finding exactly how it is already done easier. After disconnection, the keyboard will work as before and where the letters must be printed. If you can not find the desired key , try running the standard Windows 10, 8.1 or Windows 7 on-screen keyboard (located in the Start menu section Special features or standard programs, and if there is no, use the search in the taskbar or in the Start menu) and press the NUM LOCK key on it.

Note
Theoretically, the problem with the appearance of numbers instead of letters when printing on the keyboard can be caused by special reassigning keys (using a program or editing registry) or using some cunning layout (which one - I will not say, I did not meet, but I admit that such may be ). If the described above does not help, make sure that at least the keyboard layout you have installed ordinary Russian and English.
