How to automatically turn NumLock on and off in different programs?
I have a laptop with Windows 10 installed.
A keyboard and a large monitor are connected to the laptop.
On the laptop screen, I usually have mail open, and on the large monitor, RDP connection (1C is running).
It is very convenient for me to use NumPad in 1C. But when I write letters, I have to turn off NumLock, because. there is no separate NumPad on the laptop keyboard (so that numbers are not printed instead of letters).
Is there any way to automatically disable or enable NumLock depending on the program you are using or the physical keyboard you are using?

Since the problem is only in the convenience of typing numbers on the side keyboard, then the solution should be hardware. For example, an additional block NumPad, you can buy in many computer stores.
If the solution should be only software - there is a Simple Disable Key program for $19.
Once a similar problem was solved by connecting a full-size USB keyboard to a laptop.
In the laptop's proprietary program that controls additional buttons via Fn, I indicated the option "enable NumLock when a keyboard is connected" and also "Disable touchpad when a mouse is connected".
After that, I only bought laptops with a full-size keyboard or used an external one.
Accordingly, when these devices were turned off, the namlok turned off and the touchpad turned on. Although Windows itself remembers the state of NumLock on reboot.
