NUM Lock issue

Hi Karl,

The status of the NUM LOCK key is specific for each user, and NUM LOCK is disabled by default. If you want the NUM LOCK key enabled for use before a user presses CTRL+ALT+DEL to log on, you must use Registry Editor to change the default behavior.

To enable NUM LOCK before a user logs on, follow these steps:

• Run Registry Editor.
• Move to HKEY_USERS\.Default\Control Panel\Keyboard.
  
• Change the value for InitialKeyboardIndicators from 0 to 2.

IMPORTANT: This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these
steps carefully. For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click the following article number to view the article
in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: How to back up and restore the registry in Window.


Kindly update us with the result.

 

Turn off Capslock Notification

A capslock notification comes up on my screen any time I turn caps on/off. I tried

methods 3 and 4 from this list for turning it off and none seem to be working.

I went to advanced display setting, but there's no "On-Screen Display" tab, so I can't change anything that way. I tried the registry editor, but can't go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Widcomm\BTConfig\General because there's no "Widcomm" in "SOFTWARE".
I also tried a bunch of settings in the Ease of Access center but none of them effect it either.

It's not just capslock, eg. turning on the mic also does it, but the capslock is the only really annoying one.

You may plug in an external keyboard to the PC to check if the Num Lock issue reoccurs. You may also want to use the on-screen keyboard to check if that helps.

Follow these steps to launch the On-screen keyboard:

  Press Windows key + R to get the run window.
  
• 
  Type “osk” and hit enter to launch the On-screen keyboard and check if this helps.
