Num Lock won't work for 10-key

Hello Alana,

We understand your concern in this regard.

• You mean to say, Num Lock key won't work or Numeric keypad won't work?
• Did you try connecting external keyboard?
• Is that onscreen keyboard shows the same behavior?
• When you press Num Lock key, will the Num Lock light key glows on the keyboard?

Let us know these things to analyze the issue and guide you accordingly.

 

Num Lock key on at boot


For some reason, my num lock is off by default. I looked up the solutions, and the ones I found said to turn it on at the login screen, then reboot. It remained on for the next boot, but after that, it was off again. So I tried changing the registry key under "InitialKeyboardIndicators" to "214783650", which was the other suggestion I found. Neither of these worked. Does anyone else have any other ideas?

 

Num Lock is not working!

Following recent Windows 10 update the Num Lock function does not work properly.

Here are the results of tests.

Keypad Number Lock Actions

1 Numeric Lock ON.

Key '5' and 'Dot' jump down and right with a small faint table listing,

"cut, copy paste, paragraph and lists options"

2. Numeric Lock OFF:

All none numeric keys function correctly. None of the digit keys respond.

/, *, Home, Up arrow, PgUp, Left arrow, Right arrow, End, Down arrow, Pg Dn, Ins, Del.

Num Lock Key will correctly shift back to Number mode

3. Standard number keys over QWERTY work correctly.

4. A new keyboard of same manufacture also had the same problem. Logitech K330 and K360.

I checked the keyboard drivers and nothing showed error.

Does anyone know what is causing this?
