Method 1: Disable NumLock with Fn key

Fn + F11 

After pressing the keyboard shortcuts to enable the NumLock, press the shortcuts again and it will disable NumLock.

Method 2: Disable NumLock with a Registry Fix

The status of the NumLock key is specific for each user, and NumLock is disabled by default. If you want the NumLock key enabled for use before a user presses CTRL+ALT+DEL to log on, you must use Registry Editor to change the default behavior.

Here is a simple registry fix to disable the NumLock key at startup:

1. Press Windows + R to bring up the Run box. Type regedit and press Enter to open the Windows Registry Editor.
2. In the Registry Editor, open the following registry key.
3. HKEY_USER\.Default\Control Panel\Keyboard\
4. Within the keyboard folder, you should have a string value named “InitialKeyboardIndicators” with a value of 0, 1, or 2. Change the value to 1, and you’re done. Below is the explanation of each of these values:
5. 0 = Num Lock is turned OFF after the logon.
6. 1 = Disable Num Lock.
7. 2 = Numlock is turned ON after the logon.

Method 3: Disable NumLock in the BIOS

In addition to the above methods, users can also change how their computer handles the NumLock when the computer first boots up through the BIOS.

1. Turn on your computer, and as soon as you see the initial acer POST boot screen, press the designated key for entering the BIOS Setup (probably f2 key) keep tapping until bios open up.
2. Locate the the “NumLock State,” “NumLock Key“, “Boot Up NumLock Status” or a similar option and change the value to Disabled or Off. In my example, there is a option labelled “NumLock Key” under the Boot tab, select it and press Enter to select Off.

3.save your changes and exit bios.
