Windows 8.1 number lock on startup

I had to refresh my system and now I cannot have my number lock on upon startup. I have changed the registry initialkeyboard number to 2 and is still not functioning. Please help

If none of thesse solutions work there is nothing else you can do. It is a security feature of Windows:

Number Lock on Envy D7

I have an Envy D7 notebook. On reboot/startup and number lock always resets to "off". How to I configure this to always be "on" at reboot/startup?

Hello jrccpa,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I understand you are wanting to have the Numlocks on by default. To do this simply follow the instructions below:
Step 1. Press Win [Windows Key] + R then type "regedit.exe" in RUN dialog box and press Enter. It'll open Registry Editor
Step 2. Now go to following key:
To change the behavior for currently logged in user: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Keyboard
To change the behavior for all users: HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Keyboard
Step 3. Now in right-side pane, change value of "InitialKeyboardIndicators" string value to any of following:
0 - Turn all indicators Off (NumLock, CapsLock, ScrollLock)
1 - Turn CapsLock On
2 - Turn NumLock On
3 - Turn CapsLock and NumLock On
4 - Turn ScrollLock On
5 - Turn CapsLock and ScrollLock On
6 - Turn NumLock and ScrollLock On
7 - Turn all indicators On (NumLock, CapsLock, ScrollLock)
Step 4. Exit registry editor and restart your system to take effect
Step 5. If your Numlocks still do not come on at the Tiles Menu type "Control Panel"
Step 6. Click on Control Panel
Step 7. Click on Hardware and Sound
Step 8. Click on Power Options
Step 9. Click on System Settings
Step 10. Uncheck (Turn on fast startup)

I Don't Have Number Lock

I tried to turn off Secure Boot. The i saved and went out of BIOS. Then it gave me this security thing. It told me to do this: Alt + 08705 (or some number like that, not sure exactly). The problem is I don't have number lock. Is there a way to bypass this security thing or do i need to do something about the number lock thing. Please help me, I want to dualboot kali and windows 8

Number Lock stopped Working

I have a Pavilion dv6 - QJ912AV with a i7 processor, on Windows 7 operating system. This notebook has a full keyboard with numbers on the right.
I just noticed my Number Lock is no longer working. When I press the key, it's not engaging. Does anyone know why and could possibly provide me some suggestions as to how to fix it. This is really bumming me out. I've only had the notebook for 8 months!
Thanks!

Is the key the type that has a rubber dome under it? Sometimes this type of key can get a hair or other foreign particle under it that keeps it from touching the conductive material to the pad and contact is not established with the key press. Carefully try to vacuum or blow it out.

Number Lock Problem on Satellite Pro L20

We have about 60 Satellite Pro L20s on a network. When the user starts the computer sometimes they start with the number lock on. Its seems to be worse on some that others. This is very annoying as it causes problems with logons.
Is there any way of disabling the number lock function on these laptops?
Thanks
Mark

Hi
Your right, the num lock key can be switched on or off by using FN & F11, but I was wondering if there is a way to disable the num lock function entirely.
The problem is that on some of the laptops it is activated at switch on and on some it is not. This is causing problems as we are using windows 2000 network and some uses are becoming confused when they try to login and it fails as a result of having characters in their password that are shared with the number keys. They cannot tell that they are typing the wrong letters as they are obscured.
I appreciate that it is easy to switch off the num lock but as a technician it is creating unnecessary work for me with users repeatedly complaining.
Thanks

Number Lock (Num lock) on new Aluminum Keyboards

Anyone know how to enable Number Lock on the new aluminum keyboards? This is usually not an issue with Macs (as by default num-lock is assumed on), but I use remote desktop to control a Windows server and I can not use my number pad because you would normally need to engage num lock to be able to do this on Windows.
On my old Apple keyboard there was an actual Num Lock button (shared function with the Clear button).
Any ideas?
hank you.

Same here, have you figured out a solution?
The iMac aluminum keyboard has no designated key, and the Leopard solutions do not work.

Number lock and caps lock are stuck

help! number lock key seems to be stuck!
i can only write lower case letters when the number lock is on and the caps lock is on.
when the caps lock is off, i type capitals.
when the numbers lock is off, only the number keys work on the keyboard.
how do i get the keyboard back to normal?

Hi bluecrop, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Tough to tell from here, but may be some Corruption.
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for action in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot and not in Safe Mode, then it is likely some 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Also see what is in System Preferences>Other Row.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...
/private/var/run/StartupItems
/Library/StartupItems
/System/Library/StartupItems
Another way to test is create a new Account, login to that one & see if it happens there.

Number lock - ThinkPad USB keyboard and USB numeric keypad- they're not independent

Because Lenovo has discontinued my favorite keyboard ever, the USB ThinkPad with Ultra Nav full size keyboard with number pad, I bought a keyboard and numeric pad separately. I ended up with the 55Y9003 ThinkPad USB Keyboard with Track Point and the 33L3225 numeric keypad. That gives me the full solution, a good keyboard with a numeric keypad. Well, almost.
The issue I'm having is that the number lock on the main keyboard (turns the "uio", "jkl" and other keys into a number pad) controls the number lock on the separate keypad, and vice versa. What I want is for the numeric keypad to always be set for numbers and my main keyboard to always be set for letters. Instead, what I have is both are set for numbers or not, together. This of course defeats the main point of having a separate keypad for the numbers.
Is there a setting somewhere to fix this? I'm running Windows XP Professional on an HP Compaq desktop computer.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!

I have the same problem. Would be interested to hear of any solutions as well.

"The drive where windows is installed is locked. Unlock the drive and try again."

Have an Envy M6-K010DX notebook. Due to an internet problem while upgrading from Win 8 to 8.1, the PC doesn't properly boot and Windows Explorer won't load. Decided to 'Refresh' the OS and went to the F11 restore utilities. When I go to the refresh utility and follow the prompts I reach a message that says, "The drive where windows is installed is locked. Unlock the drive and try again." I've searched support for unlocking instructions and aside from some bootrec commands (that didn't work - probably because I don't have a Win 8 disk) not much is available.
The only access I have for running commands is via the Task Manager and F11 command prompt. What is this 'locked' drive, anyway? Does anyone have any information on this?
This question was solved.

Its hard to say if it the data is accessable or if the file system is corrupted or not.
Recuva is a free utility to recover files that are missing due to deleting or reformatting.
Not all of the data will be recoverable now but perhaps most of it is.
If Recuva cannot detect anything, I doubt a paid program will do any better.
You can plug the old drive into a sata port on a desktop PC or you can purchase a usb adapter to use on another laptop.
If you go with a USB adapter, get one thats usb 3.O if possible.

HOW DO YOU CHANGE THE WINDOW SIZE OF EBUSINESS SUITE ON STARTUP

HOW DO YOU CHANGE THE WINDOW SIZE OF EBUSINESS SUITE ON STARTUP
How do you change the window size for Ebusiness Suite after you log in. Currently it displays at 100% of the screen. I want to set it smaller, at some %

I don't know if there is a way to set this. Some user's may prefer different sizes of window, depending on their job duties. For example, we have 170 Systems document management integrated with purchasing and payables so users shrink the Oracle window to fill about 60% of the screen while 170 uses the remaining 40% to display the scanned document.

Why doesn't pop-up window for serial number open?

My mother has bought the Lightroom 5 CD and is installing it but for some reason when she clicks ther installed Lr icon as told in your instruction, the serial number is not requested. The whole window with the empty boxes for serial number does not appear. I'm not sure what she has done earlier but she is saying she hasn't been able to give any serial number to her Mac (she has had earlier version in other MAc but is facing major problems with this new Mac and Lightroom, she has had trial version in this Mac). So, could the problem be that she has removed some Adobe Acrobat reader, Java, Adobe ActiveX or something and that's why the pop up window for serial number does not appear or has she managed to activate something which is blocking something or if she has already put serial number somewhere could that be blocking the process? How to change the serial number? Does Lightroom require some other sw like cloud or sth?

Hi Sari,
Kindly try the below mentioned steps.
Launch Lightroom
Click on Help.
Click on Lightroom Registration
Follow the on screen instruction.
Thanks,
Atul Saini

Keyboard/ten key number lock

I just purchased a TrackPoint keyboard (55Y9053) and Ten Key (41A5090). When I plug the two into my computer the ten key number lock, locks the number pad on the TrackPoint keyboard. So when I go to type on my keyboard, letter keys I,o,p,j,k,l,n,m,, come out as numbers. Is there a way to get these to products to work together without the number lock from one affecting the number lock on the other? Thanks.

Hi, Rachel, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
A Num Lock light that stays lit is sometimes a symptom of a deeper problem. Try resetting your Powerbook's Power Management Unit. Does that help? If not, run the Apple Hardware Test from your Powerbook's original Install & Restore DVD, and let us know what AHT reports.

How do I disable Windows 8.1 Auto-lock

New Computer, Windows 8.1, 64-bit. How do I disable the Windows 8.1 Auto-Lock? I searched Forums, and the most popular answer was to go to User Accounts and Reset Security Policies. I went to Control Panel/User Accounts and there is NO
option to 'Reset Security Policies'. Now what? :(

Hi,
Did you have any custom GPOs for specific users/groups?
If you didn't modify your GPO,you cannot see this option(Reset Security Policies).
For this issue,I suggest you check your power plans setting first.
Also,please check Screen Saver's time and the following setting.
