Windows 10: How to disable virtual numpad from appearing after start up?

Numpad lock getting disabled all the time

I am so pissed and annoyed with the behavior of my HP notebook. This model doesn't have an LED to indicate if the Numpad is activated or not. It's extremely frustrating how often it's getting disabled at start-up, it's
hell.

I know there is a setting in the BIOS, it's set so the Numpad is activated upon start (I might have to doublecheck it though, just in case). Windows 10 also has registry keys to set Numpad to active on start-up, I set
all these keys (current user, etc.) to "80000002", which means Numpad active.

And yet, time and time again the pest goes back to being deactivated.

I also set a vbscript that runs on start-up and sets the status of Numpad to active. None of this is working!!

At times it works, but it's not consistent. It's most definitely a Windows issue.

I just noticed that some start-up program or setting is disabling the Numpad on start-up. I noticed this when as soon as the computer started, before it had loaded everything, I opened Notepad and tested
the Numpad, it was working. Then after Windows loaded a few more things, it disabled the Numpad.

Any ideas what could fix this? I'm so frustrated with this notebook, it's hell.

 

Numpad lock getting disabled all the time

There's only one account on this laptop and it's an admin account. I am the only one who uses it.

Besides, as I said previously, today I just got it upgraded to 1903 (from 18##, don't recall the number).

So, no, those suggestions won't change anything.

For now, I disabled the vbscript which was flipping the state of Numpad, I set the registry keys so that it will remember the last state (ON), after a restart.

As a last resort, if it keeps failing, I now have a vbscript which will check the Numpad state at start-up, and if it's off, it will set to ON.

This should do the trick, though I wish this damn wasn't as complicated, it wasn't supposed to be so pesky and difficult. Shame on Microsoft and shame on HP.
