    How do I keep the numlock key on when the computer boots?


    I have a Toshiba satellite, and I would like the numlock key to stay on during startup so I can enter my pin faster. I've tried looking in the Setup Utility that you can access through Settings>Update and Security>Recover>Advanced Startup>Troubleshoot>Advanced Options>UEFI Firmware Settings, but in that menu I see no option to change the numlock key behavior. If there is a way to change it in the actual BIOS, can someone let me know how to access the actual BIOS?

    Thank You!

    :)

    How do I keep the screen on when I close the lid.

    Just "upgraded" from win 7 to win 10 "home". I want the screen to stay ON when I close the lid, not turn off. I have chosen never hibernate, never sleep and on lid close do nothing. Everything works the way I want it to, except that the screen goes black
    when I close the lid. I was able to defeat that in win 7, but I can't find the magic to make it happen in win 10. Thank you for helping.

    How do I keep the screen on when I close the lid.

    That's a hardware control built in to your laptop by the manufacturer. It's not part of Windows.

    P.S. Sorry, but I have to ask: Who will be looking at your monitor when the lid is closed?

    P.S.S. Sorry again, can't help myself: Aren't you concerned about wasting energy and heat buildup?

  9. Disable NumLock key

    in Windows 10 Ask Insider
    Disable NumLock key: The NumLock key is very close to the Backspace key on my Lenovo laptop. As a writer I use the Backspace key 1000 times a day. In contrast: I honestly have no idea what the NumLock key does. So it's incredibly annoying when the giant NumLock off/on icon appears in the middle...
