    Numlock causes some Accessibility setting to turn on


    Whenever I turn on numlock on my laptop (not something I do often I usually hit it by accident) my computer locks and then opens a bunch of windows help tabs on edge. Then whenever I try to type it seems like the windows key is being held down. So H turns on voice to text and R opens the run menu. Does anyone know what’s going on?

  2. Windows10 - numlock not on at startup

    Hi guys,

    Trick was not really helpful.

    After a logon, the NumLock key is now effectively on, but I need this before the logon.

    My logon password has digits, and I would need the Numlock key to be «ON» at the logon process.

    Is there another way to solve that ??

    Thanks for your help.

    Robert

    Num lock key turns off

    Hi Susan,

    The status of the Numlock key is the same as it was in when you shut down your computer properly. If it was on when you shut it down it will be on when you again turn the computer on. 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.

    If the issue persists, we suggest that you try the troubleshooting steps that was provided by
    Kiran Kishore on August 19, 2015 in this
    thread
    to enable Numlock in startup.

    Should you need further assistance, don't hesitate to get back to us.

    Numlock causes some Accessibility setting to turn on

    Windows 10 keeps turning Numlock off *Mid-Session*

    Hello,

    If the NumLock key is turning on automatically, there might be corrupt registries within the system, or that software conflicts are occurring inside the system. For us to isolate the issue about the
    NumLock turning on automatically, kindly respond to the questions below:

    • Did the issue occur recently? If yes, what changes were made before it occurred?
    • Are you using a laptop or a desktop?
    • What is the make and model of your computer?
    • Aside from modifying the registry, what other troubleshooting steps have you done so far? This is for us to know and to avoid any duplication of efforts on your end.

    We look forward to your response.
