Num Lock turns off

When I restart Windows 8 the Num Lock key turns off.  Why? How can I stop this happening?

I found that if I reboot, NumLock remains sometimes, other times it doesn't. If I stop completely and then restart, it never stays.

However, I have found a fix (sort of) (for a computer that has the problem)
I created the office and shortcuts start screen on all my computers to close and restart their with 1 click in the instructions on: http://blog.laptopmag.com/how-to-shutdown-windows-8-in-just-one-click and this seems to have finally solved the problem. The NumLock key is always present when I shut down and restart this computer.
Now I can deal with other problems that this computer is having since I've upgraded to Windows 8 Pro on this subject.

  • Num Lock is a sentient being who turns off constantly

    My num lock turns off randomly, without any reason. I don't accidentally turn it off. Also, I have to turn it on whenever I start the computer. I do not EVER turn off my caps lock. Someone at - it answers?

    It is a sentient being? RUN FOR THE HILLS!

    You could have the numlock setting in the BIOS the value not to activate numlock when you start your computer. Regarding the turn off itself, I have no idea.

    Now, by clicking the scroll wheel on an empty area should do nothing.

  • The effects turns OFF automatically

    This problem is coming into my iPhone via ios 9 now plowing 9.3.1

    We can show in pictures how effect stops. So I can not download.

    First, try a forced reboot. Obviously, you will need to wait a few days to see if his works. It will affect all the data.

    To force the reboot your device, press and hold the two buttons of sleep/wake and home for at least ten seconds, until you see the Apple logo.

    If the forced reboot does not fix it, try this. Reset all the settings. You won't lose any data, but all the parameters of the device will have to be entered again in the settings app. This includes the WiFi network passwords, settings > general > reset > reset all settings.

  • Anyway continue Voiceover if the screen turns off?

    Hello world

    I use Voiceover to read eBooks for me, but the voice-over goes out once the auto lock turns off the display.

    Is it possible to do the Voiceover to continue even if the screen turns off?

    Thanks for your help!

    Hi Dionysus17,

    AFAIK the only way to solve this problem is to disable the auto-lock on your iPad. To do this, go to settings > General > lock and from here you can choose when you want to stay for before your locks iPad screen.

    Hope this helps,

    How can I disable the beep on the cap lock NumLock and scroll stop?

    There is a good chance that you can turn off the beeps by pressing the NumLock key for a little more than 5 seconds. Here's where the ToggleKeys setting are stored.

    Go to the Ease of Access Center Control Panel and click make the keyboard easier to use.

    Search for Activate the ToggleKeys in the section make it easier to type and uncheck Activate the ToggleKeys. You can uncheck turn on ToggleKeys by pressing the Numlock for 5 seconds more.

    Be sure to click on OK endangered.

    Addendum: more information in the Microsoft Accessability tutorial.

  • Turning off Caps Lock OSD on Lenovo Z50

    Hello

    I'm trying to disable the Caps Lock OSD (indicator) on my Lenovo Z50 - 75. I already looked in the display options, but I do not see the tab "on-screen Display". I managed to stop it from coming in putting an end to the "LenovoUtility" task in Task Manager, but I would like to know if there are better solutions because LenovoUtility can be used for other things that my PC may need.

    Thank you

    -Troy

    The passenger ON the icon as well as when it is turned off is a default response time caps & Num lock keys. There is no customization for public services. Uninstall the utiliity would be the only way, but can affect other materials as well.

  • Hello, please help me. I use a power keyboard for my laptop. I see in the new keyboard is equipped with a num lock key is turned on. I can't use on it please help me disable it. I do not use a NumLock on. Thank you

    Hello, please help me. I use a power keyboard for my laptop. I see in the new keyboard is equipped with a num lock key is turned on. I can't use on it please help me disable it. I do not use a NumLock on. Thank you

    You say that when you press the NUM LOCK key, the Numlock State does not change (if enabled to disabled and vice versa)?  Have you tried to unplug the keyboard and by ensuring that the keyboard of the laptop does not have enabled Numlock?  If so, turn it off on the laptop keyboard and reinsert the another keyboard and see if the problem is resolved.

    If you do not need the Numlock key, it can be disabled at startup with the following procedure:http://www.technipages.com/enabledisable-numlock-at-login-or-startup.html. Once this is done, I don't think he's going to turn on or off and that they the keyboard will start in the off position.  You will not be able to use the key yourself or another, but maybe the problem she is on (which is worse than it to be impossible to be turned on) will be resolved and I hope it will be enough for you.

    If the key does not work and you want to be able to use it, the keyboard may be defective.  Try the keyboard on another computer and see if you have the same problem.  If so, the keyboard is defective and must be replaced.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • Power down, windows 7 sets the Verr Num led on just before turning off

    I have a Fujitsu 101/102 PS/2 keyboard connected on a 64-bit windows system 7.

    Recently, my motherboard has failed, and I installed a new motherboard, where I had to do some basic recovery for windows 7 to come.
    Because then I find that when I turned off the system, during the eve of the sequence, when I get the screen power off mode, the indicator (Led) NumLock on the keyboard is turned off first, and then just before that the system turns off the Num Lock Led is lit once again and of course remains on until I then use my PC.
    I would like to get a solution to this problem.

    The State of the Num Lock is determined by the BIOS during POST (Power On Self Test). It is not defined by Microsoft during the power down, but the BIOS of your computer can trigger the light briefly during a stop.

    If you enter the BIOS of your computer during the power upward (F4 maybe?), you should be able to find a framework that governs the State of the NumLock at startup. Change this option to what you want and save your output settings.
    The BIOS settings are retained by EPROM chips on your motherboard, which explains why things have changed with a new motherboard.
  • 9.3.4's 6 iOS iPhone Wifi turns off when the phone is locked. How to solve this?

    Hey! I have a 6 - iOS 9.3.4 - 16 GB iPhone. My phone WiFi turns off eventually when I lock it... The problem is that I get no notification because of this problem. I'm too lazy to try troubleshooting for this problem, just read a lot of advice, but it had a bad feedback. How would I fix this? Thank you.

    It is not a problem. This is a design feature which is present in all iPhones and all versions of iOS for 9 years. WiFi turns off 30 seconds after the phone goes to sleep to save battery life. If you want to keep it you must connect the phone to the power.

    The new App Store for El Capitan update has locked up my macbook pro.  Reboot got about 3/4 fact and the machine stops. Turned off the power and turn it on again for nothing doesn't.  How in my machine to begin troubleshooting?

    The problem is most likely an attempt to update a system malfunction prior it is probably a problem with your computer, not the El Capitan.

    Start by:

    Reset the PRAM and NVRAM on your Mac.

    MacIntel: Reset of the controller (SMC) system management

    Start in Safe Mode , and then re - start normally. It's slower that a normal start, so be patient.

    If you are unable to start;

    Reinstall El Capitan without erasing the drive

    Please make sure that you back up.

    1. Restart the computer. Immediately after that the chime hold down the command and R until the Utility Menu appears.
    2. Select disk utility, then click on the continue button.
    3. Select the withdrawal (usually Macintosh HD) entry of the volume in the list aside.
    4. Click first aid icon in the toolbar. Wait until the button is active, then click it.
    5. Quit disk utility and re-enter the Utility Menu.
    6. Select Reinstall OS X and click on the continue button.

    Also, see this tip for user: basic steps for the OS X upgrade.

    If this doesn't get you;

    Install Yosemite or El Capitan, from scratch

    Backup if possible before proceeding.

    Restart the computer. Immediately after the chime hold down the command and R buttons until the Apple logo appears. When the Utility Menu appears:

    Select utility disc in the Menu Utility, then click the continue button.

    When loading disk utility, select the volume (entered into withdrawal, usually Macintosh HD) from the list of devices.

    Click Delete in the main window of disk utility. A panel will fall.

    Define the type of Format Mac OS extended (journaled).

    Click on the apply button, then wait for the done button to activate and click on it.

    Quit disk utility and re-enter the Utility Menu.

    Select reinstall OS X and click on the continue button.
