    My Num Lock keeps turning off every time I turn PC on from Lock/Sleep/Hibernate/Restart/Start.

    This is really annoying. I've looked everywhere with no success.

    I have Acer Predator 15.

  2. Num lock keeps turning off

    Hi,

    Was the Num Lock option working fine before? Aside from your observation that it turns off whenever you open Excel, were there any updates performed, or any changes made on the computer prior to this issue?

    In the meantime, let's check out if the mouse keys are turned off and see if this address the problem. Follow the steps below:

    • Click the Start key, select Settings.
    • Click Ease of Access, then Mouse.
    • Toggle Off Mouse keys.

    Update us with the outcome.

    Regards.

  3. Num lock keeps turning off

    My num lock keeps turning off in the middle of a session without restarting. I tried changing the keyboard default to 2 in the registry but those fixes are all for computers that turn it off on startup.

    Seems like it may be happening whenever I open excel.

    How do I stop this? Or is there a way to force num lock 100% of the time? I only ever use the computer with num lock and don't need to toggle.
