    I'm well aware of the registry hack to adjust the "InitialKeyboardIndicators" to turn on the NumLock on boot and I'm already doing that so it starts ON like it should be. But after that, there's any number of times I accidentally hit it and I need it to essentially be a DEAD KEY. No response. No function. I want Num Lock to be enabled on boot which I've already handled... if you mention InitialKeyboardIndicators in your reply, you are not actually reading my question and THEN the key needs to be disabled.

    Windows doesn`t start. Authomatic repair doesn`t work.

    Thanks again!!

    I`m sorry I had not noticed that the text on the picture was in spanish. It says that windows has replaced some damaged clusters in "name" file and "directory". Then, at the end "an unspecified error occurred (75736e6a726e6c2e 4f6)".

    I`ll do it and I`ll be updating this thread when I have the report.

    I ran SeaTools. These are the results:

  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.

    down arrow key stopped working

    My razor lycosa down arrow key decided to not respond at some point today. The other ones work and so does the numpad arrow if i turn off the numlock. Sounds like its just broken and im screwed, but any suggestions?
