can't get numbers lock to stay even after register change to 2 and doing fast startup change

I've tried the Fast Startup un check and changing Value to 2 in Keyboard registry.  I have made sure numbers lock is on when I cold reboot.

Also, can I make it so all my passwords/login names are stored.  there are certain web pages which won't save them,  I use them alot and it is becoming a pain.

You posted the same thing as in the previous post, which suggest fast startup and registry hack.

 

 

On windows 10 Aniversary update I did not manage to enable numlock at startup using the methods which worked before.

 

There is one suggestion which worked for some people but not for everybody. You can try to test it to see how it will work:

 

Start the computer, on the logon screen, turn on Number Lock on your Keyboard, then restart your computer.

Make sure you do this action on Logon screen, and restart directly on logon screen.

 

 

LE: Could you tell me the exact location where you change the registry settings?

HKEY current user

control panel

keyboard

initialkeyindicator

Hi,

 

Try to change here and see if it will work.

 

HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Keyboard

 

First change the InitialKeyboardIndicators to 0.

 

Restart the notebook.

 

Go back in regedit, and change the same value to 2.

 

Restart the notebook. After restart the numlock should be ON.

 

I know, previous registry hacks suggested the path which you are using but I have tried today this location in the registry and it worked for me. Of course, It does not work with fast startup enabled.
