Num Lock key on at boot

Well this is weird. I guess it wasn't fixed. It's only working intermittently.

Try the fix in post #12.

Make sure the tickbox for "Turn on fast start-up (recommended)" is UNTICKED

Do you have to leave fast start-up turned off after the registry change? In the increased boot time I would get, I could hit the num lock key a hundred times!

***checking and rebooting****

Edit: Aren't I the idiot. It appears it's no longer required. **tee-hee**

Using the number 2 only in that Registry tweak worked for me IF I had left the NumLock on when I shut down or restarted.

This is the problem I had on my main system.

This is exactly how I fixed it:
Go to the power options via settings
Make sure the tickbox for "Turn on fast start-up (recommended)" is UNTICKED


Then open up the registry (regedit) and go to
HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Keyboard
Change the value of InitialKeyboardIndicators to 2147483650

I just want to add that you had the right number earlier (ie 2) but you had to add the 2 to the original number (2147483648+2=2147483650 decimal or 80000002 in hex)

And that's it (I hope)

This fixed my problem, thanks!

As I wrote in #2 you have just to put the value 2 in this place, and in another also for having numlock on in Windows.

See Brink's tutorial here:
Toggle Keys at Startup

It has worked on every PC I have set up. No need to fiddle around with "Fast Startup", or should I say "I have never needed to change Fast StartUp" to get Numlock on at the login screen.

I know. I tried that, and it didn't work. Disabling fastboot is what did it for me.
