Num Lock not working although selected in BIOS

My numlock key used to be preset after a computer restart or reboot, now it has to be manually pressed before the number key section and led indication is operational. I have checked and it is selected on in my bios settings. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

This is probably a long shot but try it anyway:
Go to Start/All apps/Windows Ease of Access folder/On-Screen Keyboard
With the OSK up, click on Options (1), 'Turn on numeric keypad' (2), engage NumLock (3), click OK (4)
Ensure NumLock stays engaged; don't know if it will have any bearing but it's worth a shot.
