Hi,

 

As far as I know, you had to turn Fast Startup off in order for the change to stick.

If the method doesn’t work. Maybe group policy or domain policy could be rewriting the registry value.

 

Or you could create a scheduled task to solve your issue:

I have try tha solution and same thing when the user logon the numlock is desactivate.

  • Created a program to enable NumLock when run that runs without a window (https://github.com/brunolm/NumLock)
  • Created a scheduled task
    • General
      • "Run only when user is logged on"
      • "Run with highest privileges"
    • Triggers
      • "On workstation unlock of any user"
    • Actions
      • "Start a program" (NumLock.exe)

Hi,

 

After you have changed the registry, shut down your computer.

 

Boot the computer back up again. When you reach the login screen, press the Num Lock key once to enable it. Don’t log into the computer. From the login screen, click the power button and select “Shut down” to shut down the computer again.

Boot the computer back up and Num Lock will be enabled on the login screen.

 

If the trick above doesn’t work for you, the only is try disabling Fast Startup instead.

 

Open the Control Panel, click “Hardware and Sound,” click “Power Options,” and click “Choose what the power buttons do.” Click the “Change settings that are currently unavailable link at the top of this screen, and then scroll down and uncheck the “Turn on fast startup (recommended)” option. Click “Save changes.”

 

Best Regards,

Farena

Is it by design?

Hi,

 

I feel sorry that this question is hard to answer.

If none of the above works, it might be by design.
