Default Delete Key Not Working


Under Windows10, in WORD my delete key seems to be operating as if it were automatically capitalized. It gives me a "." instead of a deletion. To get a deletion, I have to press the shift key at the same time. Any way to return to the normal keyboard situation?

Press the NumLock key.
Or, is this only in Word?

This could be the NUMLOCK key, as Charles suggested. Another possibility is a defect keyboard. Or maybe the input language (keyboard layout) isn't correct.
