Numbers near letters on the keyboard

[childofthe1980s]

Hello:

One of our laptops types numbers instead of letters. Upon examining the
keyboard, we see that a few of the letters do have numbers in the corners of
those keys and those numbers are what are appearing in the screen.

How do we get the keys to type letters, as they normally should, instead of
numbers?

Thanks!

It is frequently one of the F keys in the top row.

By reading the instruction manual of your Laptop?

It is SHIFT + Scroll Lock on Thinkpads, on top row.

I'm well aware of that as an option, sir. My question leans more toward "is
there a universal way of turning off this functionality"? If not, then fine.
We will contact Dell.

People complain about long phone queues, and it is people like you who are
too lazy to read the manual or google, who cause these queues.

I have never seen an option to disable that functionality in Windows.
