    Pin Keypad Gone


    I use the 4 digit PIN login for Win 10. In the past, I would get the small 10 digit number keypad when I touched the PIN input box on the logon screen. Lately, on all my devices, the small keypad has been replaced by the full on screen keyboard when I touch the PIN input box on the logon screen. I've found a number of folks with the same issue, but no resolution.

    Very annoying.

    Anyone know how to get back to the small keypad?

    Does it not show you login options just below were you type in the password ?

    The 10-key Key pad is controlled by Win10 regardless of the BIOS setting.

    There has been posted a number of places where editing a Registry item can change its performance but working in the Registry is not for the faint-of-heart as one mistake will keep Windows from booting up.

    I found the change would retain the status of the key pad when shut down, i.e. if NumLock is On at shutdown it will be on at startup. If Off it will be off.
    Change the Default NumLock State at Registry Guide for Windows
    More: registry to turn numlock on at DuckDuckGo
    Sorry, that didn't answer about the onscreen key pad.

    I have been searching for a solution. My main desktop machine, the PIN pad always shows up. I FINALLY discovered it is because I have a graphics tablet driver installed. The tablet is a Huion 420(2048) (not H420). Download the driver at Download Drivers And User Manual - Huion and install it; now I always have the PIN pad pop up at logon, to click my 4-digit PIN in.
    I am SO relieved; hope this helps others. I searched EVERYWHERE and the pathetic online microsoft 'help' was ABSOLUTELY no help in EVERY case, like they did not understand the problem.

    I saw you were looking for the lock-screen pin pad-I finally figured it out: install the Huion tablet driver: 420(2048) v.12.4.2

    Download Drivers And User Manual - Huion
