Windows 10: Numlock is Disabled Everytime at Bootup - How Do I Enable it?

Everytime I boot windows my numlock is disabled. I tried to edit the registry but that doesnt work. How do i enable it everytime my PC boots?

How to activate numlock automatically when windows 10 starts?

Well I tried changing the registry too but on restart Windows resets everything on a keyboard check.

This following does work and has done everytime.

Disable Fast Startup to Enable NumLock

Press Win + x (brings up control panel)

click 'power plan'

click on 'what the power buttons do'

They will be greyed out so

click on 'change settings currently unavailable'

scroll down and uncheck 'Turn on Fast startup'

Thats it. Shut down and reboot and NumLock will retain last configuration.

 

Numlock on at startup

I have some information concerning the NumLock being off at startup. It would always be off when I booted up to the screen to enter the PIN. I remember somewhere reading about the 'on screen' keyboard, but did nothing with it because I don't have a touch
screen. After checking the registry 'keyboard' information, and the 'quick start' and 'NumLock' in BIOS, I still had to turn the NumLock on manually at bootup. When I brought up the On Screen keyboard and checked the options for the On Screen keyboard, I
found a checkbox for the NumLock 'unchecked'. When I put a check mark in the box, my NumLock now is on when I boot. So, even though I wasn't using the On Screen keyboard, that is what was not allowing the NumLock key to be 'on' at bootup!

 

You probably need to enable it in the BIOS. Entering the BIOS is usually done by holding down the DEL or F2 key immediately after power on. The NUMLOCK option is within one of the sub-menus.

I have 3 Windows 10 computer each using PIN numbers to log-in without any problems.
--- Are you using PIN numbers?
--- Are you using a numeric keypad?

 

If you have ClassicShell 4.3.1 installed, then try this:

Classic shell or not, download the .reg file in this tutorial, and apply it. Reboot.

@enigma101 is correct, look in your BIOS. BIOSes vary but on mine the entry for enabling NumLock is within the section POST behaviour.

When you have that set in the BIOS you can, if it is useful in your situation, consider the other suggestions.
