If your keyboard isn’t typing the correct characters, you may have the incorrect input language selected. Modern operating systems come with the ability to type in many languages, and if you have multiple languages enabled it’s really easy to accidentally switch between them. If you’re using a laptop without a number pad, your NumLock key may be the culprit.
Fix 1: Disable Num Lock
If your keyboard starts typing numbers instead of letters, you probably enable Num Lock by mistake. In this case, disabling Num Lock can fix your problem. Here is how to do it:
On your keyboard, press the FN key and NUM key at the same time. Then, try typing a word to test your issue.
If you don’t have a NUM key (if you’re using a laptop), you’ll need to press the FN key and the CAPS Lock key instead.

Fix 2: Switch between your keyboard layouts
If you have more than one keyboard layout installed on your computer, chances are you have inadvertently changed your keyboard layout. But don’t worry, you can fix it. Follow the instructions below:
1) Click the language button on the taskbar.
2) Switch to another input language and then switch back. (In my case, I’ll change the input language to German, then change it back to English.)
3) Check your keyboard to see if this fixed your issue.
If your keyboard map still won’t match the letters on your keys, move on and try the fix below.
