    Hi,
    You need to change the value from 0 to2 in registry editor, follow the instructions exactly in the link and create a backup of your system before you do any changes to the registry.

    I found a trick, that works on windows 10 64 bit, on acer spin 3.
    I have not done any of the control panel nor registry tweaks.
    Step 1. Reboot your computer.
    Step 2. on the password screen, press num lock
    Step 3. Verify num lock is on by typing in password box.
    Step 4. Reboot Computer... from rebook icon in lower left.

    Now when computer boots, num lock is on.

    Neither of these methods work. Each will enable Num Lock on the next boot, but Num Lock will default back to Off on subsequent reboots. This is really getting frustrating. I can't believe Acer made something as basic as Num Lock Always On an impossibility. Who, exactly, is testing the functionality of the image before it goes into production??? Can't they see the big numbers on the keypad and notice, whoa hey, they aren't working??? It seems to me the Default should be Always On, I mean, it is a KEY PAD.
