Windows 10: How to switch off SHIFT key feature of temporary disabling NumLock status while held down?

So the question is and it's not new in the titleThe problem is when NumLock is turned ON whenever i press, for example, Num1 i get input "1" as you would expect. When i hold CTRL or ALT and press Num1 i still get input "1", but as soon as i hold SHIFT and press Num1 i get input "END", which is an alternate function for non-NumLocked Num1 key. BUT i still have NumLock status on my keyboard ON as i myself haven't switched it off during any moment of this.I haven't found any options for switching this behavior and it's unwanted for me, i'd like to have this feature disabled if i can. I use stan

How to enable NumLock key in Windows 10

Neither the registry hacks or holding down the NumLock key at startup works for me; as previously stated, the only thing that does work - with my system configuration - is to shut off fast start up. In order to do so, here are the steps again in case you
missed it:

1. Go to the Control Panel (right click on Start button and choose "Control Panel" or press the "Win-x" keys to get to the same menu and choose Control Panel.)

2. Click on the "System and Security" setting and then click on the "Change what the power buttons do" option under the Power Options heading.

3. Click on the "Change settings that are currently unavailable" link near the top of this window.

4. Under "Shutdown settings" uncheck the box in front of "Turn on fast startup (recommended)"

I have no idea what they put in the fast startup programming to cause the NumLock key to be disabled - and how it makes start up faster to actually take the time to disable the key after it has been enabled by the BIOS I don't know, either - but turning
off it off will make the NumLock key remain activated. I hope it works for you, too, Janedgc.

Thank you Holly for this suggestion. I tried it and it didn't work for me. Thanks everyone for your suggestions. I've given up. I just turn off manually the number lock button each morning. Huguette

 

Someone with extensive registry knowledge (shift disabling numpad)

It does that for my laptop too. With NumLock turned on the shift key turns off the effect of NumLock while it's pressed. Apparently it's always done that - certainly did back in 2004....

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.
