How to disable Function Keys Travelmate P2410

Member Posts: 10 New User
Hello!
I need to disable the fn functions in my recently bought Travelmate P2410 because they're clashing with the use of an external USB numpad, which I need to work. So I want to have the numeric pad on, but also be able to use the normal keys where numpad numbers are (U - P,, J - L, etc).
I've been searching online and have yet to find a solution for this.
There's nothing in the BIOS to disable the function keys. I can't find any option for this anywhere.
PS: Running Windows 10 Pro
Anyone can help?

Acer Quick Access controls the Fn keys.
Take a test by removing and disabling it.

I uninstalled it, found no way to disable it, though.
FN keys still working normally.
Again, I want to be able to connect and use a USB NumPad and have the one underneath the UIOJKLM keys disabled, but when Numlock is turned on, both the USB one and the one in the keyboard get activated. I want the one in the keyboard deactivated or removed altogether.
When I connect that it works all right, until I try to use the Enter key on the num pad. Turns out the laptop cannot distinguish between the two! He treats both as if they were regular Enter keys, and I need both the regular and the num pad's.
Any ideas? I'm at my wits end with this laptop and about to return it.

Regular Enter is used to manipulate text, while num pad Enter is used to mark the incue of a subtitle.
I've used SharpKeys and can confirm both are being read as "Special: Enter (00_1C)" (the default), but num pad one should be "Num: Enter (E0_1C)".
If I change one using SharpKeys, it changes both.
The USB numpad I mentioned is a different one with its own numlock key, a Mitsai, which posed a problem earlier, hence why I had to look for the Targus one. The Mitsai one has the "Num: Enter" key, but activating it's numlock also actives the numpad underneath the regular keys, like I said in the first post.
