Num Lock key on at boot

For some reason, my num lock is off by default. I looked up the solutions, and the ones I found said to turn it on at the login screen, then reboot. It remained on for the next boot, but after that, it was off again. So I tried changing the registry key under "InitialKeyboardIndicators" to "214783650", which was the other suggestion I found. Neither of these worked. Does anyone else have any other ideas?

I do this:
Win+r -> regedit.exe
HKEY_USERS -> .DEFAULT -> Control Panel -> Keyboard -> InitialKeyboardIndicators
Edit the value, and set it to 2
shut down Regedit, and reboot.
Now the numlock is on at the login screen :)

Just 2? No numbers before or after?

I can turn mine off or on in the BIOS.

Thanks for the help. I don't know which of these fixed it, because both were as they should be. I changed the registry key, and it didn't fix it, so I checked the BIOS, and it was already where it should be, but when I exited, it worked.

I had to change the InitialKeyboardsIndicators registry value. Went from 2147483648 to 214783650. (80000002 in Hex works too)

That's where I do it from also.

Me too. Windows then disables numlock by default on some hardware. All my other machines didn't need the registry value to be changed.

Might have been the reboot?

I've rebooted after every step, so I don't know.
