    Numlock is disabled in Windows


    Hi,


    Yesterday my Windows was updated and since then the numlock is totally disabled in Windows.

    I can't use it, can't turn it on by pressing it or anything else. It turns on when I turn the PC on and the light is on, but then when Windows starts up it just turns off permanently.

    I tried several methods I found in the web to solve this but none of them work.


    Windows 10 Pro

    Windows version: 1803

    Build: 17134.345

    PC is has Gigabyte X99 chipset MB.



    Any ideas?


    Thanks!

    :)

  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

    Keyboard NUMLOCK


    Just reloaded Windows 10 and I can't keep the NUMLOCK on. I have tried many suggestions. I have looked at the registry and it shows on and the bio shows it is on. Any suggestions?

    Windows10 - numlock not on at startup

    Hi,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Community.

    Please follow the steps below and check if it works fine:

    Disable Fast Startup, to enable Num Lock. Follow the steps:

    • Press Win + X and click on Control Panel
    • Click on Power Plan
    • Now click on Choose what the power buttons do on the left side panel
    • Now select Change settings that are currently unavailable.
    • Scroll down and uncheck Turn on fast startup (recommended) .

    That’s it. Now after shutting down and reboot your NumLock should retain the last configuration.

    Thank You.
