Hi

 

Everytime I start my laptop up the number pad is locked and I have to press the NumLock key to be able to use the number keys.

How do I turn this off, I dont want my number keys to be locked.

 

Thanks

Sophie

you need to edit windows registry to keep NumLock from boot:

 

It is also a change in the register but not the one I have read in most posts.

• Start Regedit (on windows 8 press window key logo + r and then type Regedit and press enter)
• Open HKEY USERS
• Open Default
• Open Control Panel
• Click on Keyboard
• On the right side you get 4 keyboard items
• InitialKeyboardIndicators has a number as data > 2147483648 (If InitialKeyboadIndicators shows a value of 0, change the value to 2)
• Doubleclick on InitialKeyboardIndicators
• In the small window you get you change the last 2 numbers from 48 to 50 and get 2147483650
• Click on ok
• Close the register window
• Reboot and check NumLock state
