Num Lock on reboot - no way to get working
Hi
I have an E5-571-371W
I cannot get the Num Lock to remain ON and activated on start up, whether from log out/lock or reboot from sleep.
I have tried:
Changing the registry for default and current user to 2 for keyboard
Turning off Fast Start up
Disabling Launch Manager
and none of these has worked.
This is really really annoying as i use my numberpad heaps.
Any ideas?
I have Windows 10.

The only option that works for some is the registry hack. For other laptops there is no solution.
You will probably just have to resign yourself to having to push one more button when you boot up.

Through Internet searches, I was able to get Num Lock on at start-up, but when it comes out of sleep or hibernate, it's always OFF. Very annoying.

Did you find and try this one?
- While on Lock Screen, press NumLock key on your keyboard to enable it
- Reboot the system from the power button on the Lock Screen

Tried it but I still have the same problem: when I close my lid to go into sleep mode and then reopen the lid to some out of sleep mode, the num lock is off when I want it to be on. One has a choice of what happens when one closes the lid. Were I to choose "shut down", the computer would reboot with the num lock on, but I don't want to wait for a full reboot when I open the lid.

I've got the same problem and it seems to be quite common - just search the web - very frustrating! ACER seems to be just ignoring us.

I think it would have to be done with a bios update. I don't think it will happen because the majority of people don't want it on by default.
