Windows 10: Keyboard NUMLOCK

Just reloaded Windows 10 and I can't keep the NUMLOCK on. I have tried many suggestions. I have looked at the registry and it shows on and the bio shows it is on. Any suggestions?

:)

 

Numlock on at startup

I have some information concerning the NumLock being off at startup. It would always be off when I booted up to the screen to enter the PIN. I remember somewhere reading about the 'on screen' keyboard, but did nothing with it because I don't have a touch
screen. After checking the registry 'keyboard' information, and the 'quick start' and 'NumLock' in BIOS, I still had to turn the NumLock on manually at bootup. When I brought up the On Screen keyboard and checked the options for the On Screen keyboard, I
found a checkbox for the NumLock 'unchecked'. When I put a check mark in the box, my NumLock now is on when I boot. So, even though I wasn't using the On Screen keyboard, that is what was not allowing the NumLock key to be 'on' at bootup!

 

numlk will NOT work in Win 10, however......

Hi,

Did you try Shift + NumLock?

Also, you may be able to "unlock" the NumLock using the On-Screen Keyboard :

Start > type OSK > then click on On-Screen Keyboard > Options > then "check" "turn on numeric key pad" > OK

Then click on NumLock to turn on.

 

What is the make and model# of your Asus Motherboard?
Restart the computer and press Del to boot into Setup (Bios) go to Integrated Peripherals. Look for NUM Lock. If it is disabled, using your Enter and Arrow keys, Enable it. Save and Exit

 

I have been into the bios and the registry and both show the thing is enabled. Funny that this only started after I installed a new hard drive. Until that time it has worked. Can't see any reason just because I changed the drive that it would not work.

 

Have you hit the key on your keyboard to off?

 

I'm not sure what you mean...not as a general rule I don't. I have always had it on because I use a pin logging in and that is when I noticed it didn't automaticly come on.
