Apple Keyboard Works With Windows

I recently bought a new Magic keyboard with numeric pad but cannot get it to work properly on bootcamp.

1. Apple Keyboard Works With Windows Xp
2. Apple Keyboard Works With Windows 8.1
3. Apple Keyboard Works With Windows 8

I reinstalled the drivers, updated osx, pair and unpaired the keyboard, and called technical support, but none seemed to have helped.

• Macally Ultra Slim USB Wired Computer Keyboard - Works as Windows or Mac Wired Keyboard - Full Size Keyboard with 20 Apple Shortcut Keys - Mac Keyboard with Number Pad - Silver Aluminum Finish 4.3 out of 5 stars 455.
• Apple Magic Keyboard Functionality on Windows 10 (Surface Pro 4) I am using a Surface Pro 4. I recently was gifted an Apple magic keyboard for my iPad, but was messing around with it and found out it can work with my Surface as well.

The magic keyboard without a numeric pad works well but when I unpaired it, the tab on bootcamp control panel for keyboards disappeared, so I'm assuming the error has something to do with bootcamp not registering the device as an apple keyboard.

Any suggestions on how to get it to work?
