Try launching mspaint then minimize. Then press and hold SHIFT then press Print Screen and CTRL V paste into paint.
What happens then?
Also make the WINDOWS D aka desktop MSPAINT the default app for jpeg and jpg and bmp etc.

And you could try this registry edit to enable numlock at every reboot.
BUT, do not attempt to edit the registry unless you know exactly what you're doing. One mistake could prevent the PC from ever booting again. You should backup (export) a copy of the registry to external media (eg USB stick) before you make any attempts to edit the registry. You edit the registry entirely at your own risk...

Is that the keyboard that came with this PC? If not, have you tried the one that came with it to see if it has the same problems?
Reboot and IMMEDIATELY press F2 to open BIOS setup. Look for an option for Num Lock and enable it. Don't change anything else in BIOS setup. Be sure to save the change before exiting setup.
