Hi Arthur

It could be a numlock or capslock issue ...

Emne: [dba-Tech] Bizarre keyboard issue

I have a Dell UltraBook. I have never got used to its native keyboard and built-in mousepad or whatever you call it, and so have a wireless keyboard/mouse installed on it. When I try to enter my login password, using the wireless keyboard, I get the message "incorrect password". If I disable the wireless keyboard, restart, and enter exactly the same password using the built-in keyboard, it works. WTF?
One more thing. When the wireless keyboard is attached, the built-in keyboard is disabled. I think there's a setting to change that, but I forget where it is. (It's Windows 10.) Changing that so I could use either keyboard would solve the problem, perhaps not ideally, but then at least I could log on using the built-in and thereafter use the wireless keyboard.
I've never seen anything like this before. All three of my computers have identical Logitech wireless keyboard/mouse. None of the other two exhibit this peculiar behaviour.
Any guesses as to why this occurs? Or how to fix it? Or find that setting that enables both keyboards?
TIA.
