Windows 10: Is it possible to set the NumLock Key to an always on position?

I want the NumLock key to be enable the numeric keypad always and then be disabled. It is quite a nuisance to turn the numeric keypad off when I am trying to hit the Backspace key. I do not care to understand why anyone would want the numeric keypad on their laptop to ever be turned off. Just as I do not understand anyone who Insert types. I want to keep the keypad permanently enabled and the NumLock to be configured to be disabled once it is enabled to Always On. I tried changing registry key entries with no success based on info I found online. It didn't work even with a shutdown and r

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.

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

That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.
