How to Enable/Disable Num Lock

Posted by: Dan | Posted in: Reference

image I noticed today my windows laptop wasn’t auto enabling num lock on boot, this was very annoying so I found this little bit of code to solve that:

  1. Click Start, click Run, and type regedit to open the Windows registry editor.
  2. In the registry, open the below folders.
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\
    Control Panel\
    Keyboard\
  3. Within the keyboard folder, you should have a string value named "InitialKeyboardIndicators" with a value of 0, 1, or 2. Below is the explanation of each of these values.
    0 = Num Lock is turned OFF after the logon.
    1 = Disable Num Lock.
    2 = Numlock is turned ON after  the logon.
