    NUM Lock issue

    Hi Karl,

    The status of the NUM LOCK key is specific for each user, and NUM LOCK is disabled by default. If you want the NUM LOCK key enabled for use before a user presses CTRL+ALT+DEL to log on, you must use Registry Editor to change the default behavior.

    To enable NUM LOCK before a user logs on, follow these steps:

    • Run Registry Editor.
    • Move to HKEY_USERS\.Default\Control Panel\Keyboard.
    • Change the value for InitialKeyboardIndicators from 0 to 2.

    IMPORTANT: This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these
    steps carefully. For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click the following article number to view the article
    in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: How to back up and restore the registry in Window.


    Kindly update us with the result.

    Num Lock on by default

    How do I make Num Lock default to 'ON' at startup (& then stay on!)?

    Hello. How do I make my Num Lock default to the 'ON' setting at startup? At the moment, it defaults to off, and I have to press the Num Lock key each time to turn it on. It was always on by default in Windows 7 previously.

    I have tried changing the code in Regit to 2147483650, as suggested somewhere online, and also to 80000002 as suggested somewhere else! But neither ensure that Num Lock comes on automatically at startup and then stays on permanently, which I want it to
    do. (Not wishing to make things complicated, one of those numbers seemed to make it turn on at the Windows 10 Lock/Login page, but then turn off afterwards!)

    I use the numeric keypad a lot, so any helpful assistance gratefully received.
