Once had a user manually change their ticket to Priority 1, which we used to indicate dozens of people/everyone down, because their M key only worked half the time they pressed it.

Electrician at a factory, I get called to operator’s stations all the time because “I can’t type any numbers so we can’t change products.” I have tried for 30min over the radio to direct them to press the numlock key to no avail. Please send help, I can only drink so much on my day off.
“OK, power it off and on again”
Three seconds later
‘I restarted it’
Computer Uptime: 30+ days
“You mean logging off and back on isn’t rebooting? What about this button on my monitor?”
I have no problem with ignorance unless it's deliberate. It's the people who think they're above troubleshooting and lie about it who are the problem people
And the people who refuse to learn.
“I’m just bad with computers.”
So learn and get better.
"Can you just remote in and do it"
I'm not gonna remote in and open an email for you, you are an adult at a workplace.
That’s when you givem the ol “I’m gonna do something on my end, your pc might restart again”
put a smiley sticker over numlock and tell them to hit that
Could just disable the functionality in general or go all caveman on it and get rid of the button
Just remove the key from their keyboard at this point or I think there is a way for windows to simply ignore it and keep it on all the time
The machines are locked down by the corporate (over seas) IT group, but taking the keys out might work. I think W10 default boots with numlock on.
on my BIOS you can choose wether to have it on or off on boot.
Nope.
