  1. Change key (numlock) function, pref no 3rd party app


    I decided between two laptops recently and one thing I liked on the laptop I did not choose was the secondary behaviors of the Function keys. One started calc which is actually useful for me. Additionally my chosen laptop has a 10 key, so invoking calc quickly would be nice. I will literally never turn numlock off, and so I figured if I could change numlock to always be on (it's current behavior) as well as function as either a shortcut or a macro (say, Ctrl+Shift+combo of other keys) would be nice.

    I understand I can probably obtain this functionality from 3rd party apps, like Autohotkey or sharpkeys, but I wanted to see if this was possible without having an app running at all times (ie: changing registry values or some base behavior in windows). If I can only get this functionality by 3rd party, would you recommend Autohotkey, sharpkeys, or some other program?

    Windows Mail and 3rd party messages

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting on Microsoft Communities.

    Please assist me with the following information related to this issue:

    • May I know what exactly do you mean when you say "download messages from 3rd party into Windows Mail"?
    • Are you referring to Mail app on Windows 10? If so, are you able to receive any send email via Mail app?

    If you are facing issues with Mail app, I suggest
    run the in-built Windows Store app troubleshooter and check. Follow the steps:


    • Press Windows Key + X..

    • Click on Control Panel.

    • Select Troubleshooting.

    • On the left pane, click on View All.

    • Click on Windows Store apps to run the troubleshooter.

  3. Windows10 - numlock not on at startup

    Hi guys,

    Trick was not really helpful.

    After a logon, the NumLock key is now effectively on, but I need this before the logon.

    My logon password has digits, and I would need the Numlock key to be «ON» at the logon process.

    Is there another way to solve that ??

    Thanks for your help.

    Robert
