Windows 10: Num Lock

When I had Windows 7 installed on this same computer there was a place to set Num Lock to be on when computer boots up. I cannot find the setting for this on Windows 10. Simple problem, hope simple answer. Thanks

:)

 

10 keypad not working after upgrade to Win10

If the Num Lock key does not work, boot into the BIOS and enable Num Lock

 

keyboard num lock stopped working in Windows 10

Finally found NUM LOCK off & on in Ease of Access. All my computers have been returned to operate the num lock. THANKS for Method 2 which helped me locate the NUM LOCK problem.

 

It's in you BIOS and on your keyboard. For BIOS, you'll need to make the change in there. On your keyboard....it's a key combo...ctrl + num lock key. When engaged a light will be turned on.

 

All I did on mine was press Number lock on the key pad
Next time it started up it came on by its self

 

Will this come on by itself. I usually press numlock but it doesn't come on the next time.

 

On all my systems it has always done

 

I none of that works or if you want to just automate it, this is the Reg entry.

Force Num Lock On.reg

It's here. Scroll down a bit....

Enable NumLock on the Windows 10 Login screen/Lock screen

And here, Shawn's tutorial: Num Lock - Enable or Disable on Sign-in Screen in Windows 10

 

This is normally set in the Bios not in the OS itself - boot into the bios on start often Del key - look for something like "NumLock at Boot" set to On and save and exit

 

On every Asus motherboard I have used, the Num. Lock is set in the bios.
Tapping the Delete key should get you into the bios on a Asus motherboard.

Windows 10 does handle the NumLock differently, usually the .reg modification works but it generally only saves the state of the key at shutdown or reboot, what it was should be what will come back. My issue is Win10 disables the light on Notebooks keyboards with the keypad, can't tell what is set until trying it. The number keys along the top of the keyboard aren't affected.
