Windows 10: On startup, windows won't let me type in my PIN with either the top row of numbers or the...

What can I do to fix this? I've tried using the numlock button, but it doesn't affect anything. Once I log in, though, the number keys work just fine.

the top row is not working

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

To better understand your query, please reply:

1. What do you mean by "top row not working" not working? Are you referring to keyboard top row keys?

I would suggest you to go to the safe mode and see if the problem persists.

To go to Safe mode follow the steps below:

• 
  Click on Windows key, and in the Power Options click on Restart while pressing the shift key.
  
• 
  A blue screen will appear with a few options.
  
  Click on Troubleshoot > Advanced Settings > Startup Settings > Restart.
  
• 
  Your system will automatically restart, press 4 or F4 key to go to the Safe Mode.
  

Awaiting your response.

Regards,

 

Can't get GPU-Z to start with Windows 8.1 startup

I'm not sure how to do that. Could you list the steps for a noob?

 

number row with on screen keyboard without losing swipe typing

Currently, i can either use the default layout without dedicated number row and have swipe typing, or use traditional layout with dedicated number row and miss swipe typing. This makes both of them pretty unproductive for me. Ideally, I would have preferred default layout with a separate number row on top, and some extra symbols on long pressing alphabet keys like the gboard does on android. I would be more than happy though with just the number row for now. Is there some way to have it? Seems a big pretty big oversight by MS if they were serious in trying to implement a good touchscreen keyboard if there is no way for the same
