NumLock key

Dell XPS Windows 8.1 8700 - I need my number lock to stay all the time, went to regedit, find all instances of InitialKeyboard and changed the value of '2 '. I still have to activate numlock when you start the system and numlock is turned off during the move to other users. What I've done wrong?

Thank you, Alan

If you search these forums, this has been an ongoing problem with the XPS 8700.

You have the latest version of the BIOS (A10)? Do not remember if it updates resolved this problem.

You can also try what fixed it for some others:

Assuming that Win 8 or 8.1:

  1. Go to search (apps)
  2. Type: keyboard
  3. Select on-screen keyboard (digital interactive keyboard appears on the desktop)
  4. Click on options button on the onscreen keyboard (which makes the keypad displayed)
  5. Click numlock
  6. Close onscreen keyboard

    How do I change turn the num lock (NumLock) key a Pavilion 17z-F200 CTO to have a State default one?

    System BIOS has no setting for it. By another post, I tried to set the value of register in HKEY_USERS\. Default\Control Panel\Keyboard for "InitialKeyboardIndicators" of "2147483648" to "2147483650. It seems not to change after a reboot.

    Yes, the BIOS settings was the first thing I checked. But BIOS seems to only contain States in order for the locks of keys on the new HP Pavilion or Envy laptop.

    I did more research and found more credible sources to TechNet asking to change the same registry value to 2. I tried it and it works a fact/do.

    His name is regedit.exe and you can get to by typing in the search
    box of the start menu.

    However, to be * very * careful. Whatever you do in regedit is saved
    immediately, and a mistake can leave you with a computer that won't start raining.

  • How to turn off the NumLock key?

    Yes, I googled this! I spent two hours Googling that!

    I followed the instructions on editing my registry and changing the settings of the BIOS. I came to the conclusion that these solutions don't change the start-up for Num Lock. But I want the Num Lock is completely disabled. When I press NumLock I won't do anything! I don't want the 6 on the num pad button at the right point... I don't want the rocker!

    What should I do?

    Hi neverendingnoise,

    You might have tried it before, but here's how to disable it through the registry:
    1. Click Start, click run, and type regedit to open the Windows Registry Editor.
    2. In the registry, open the sub folders.

      HKEY_CURRENT_USER\
      Control Panel\
      Keyboard\

    3. In the case of keyboard, you should have a string value named "InitialKeyboardIndicators" to a value of 0, 1, or 2. Here is the explanation of each of these values.

      0 = NUMLOCK is turned off after the opening of the session.
      1 = disable caps lock.
      2 = NUMLOCK is enabled after logon.

  • 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!

  • Satellite Pro C850 - how to activate 'Numlock' on startup

    Hi all

    No one knows how you can activate the "Numlock" key to start the laptop.

    Concern: Satellite Pro C850 - 1LN

    I look in the BIOS (6.70) > advanced... but find nothing
    I am also looking Windows 8.1, but also without success.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Marc

    As much as I know there is no certain special option to turn on the num lock and you can not define is as default to be always enabled. Extra keypad on the keyboard is designed for use with different applications such as Office Excel and allow you an entry comfortable numbers in some document.

    On my laptop (P500), I noticed that when I turn off laptop with active NumLock will be on next start so let is all the TIME.

  • Pavilion 15: number keys on the keyboard does not

    I obviously made some changes with a result that the keypad does not work and I do not remember how to activate them. help please

    Hey @frederickw1,.

    Welcome to the Forums!

    I understand that the keypad does not work. You mentioned that you have changed a few things. I'm here to help! I also changed the settings before and lost the use of my pad. Here are a few steps that can help.

    Please make sure that the NumLock key is pressed while the button lights on your keyboard, which indicates that it works.

    Please, start your computer in Mode safe. The numeric keypad works in Mode safe?

    If the keyboard works fine in safe mode, then I suggest that do you a clean boot to see if another program blocking the use of the keyboard (How to perform a boot in Windows).

    • Right-click the Start button
    • Go to the control panel
    • Go to ease of access
    • Click on change how your keyboard works
    • Remove the turn checks on the keys area rocking. (This should stop your laptop computer to beep when you press the NumLock key).
    • Press OK.

    If there is a check next to mouse keys:

    • Get him out.
    • Press OK.
    • Test the keypad.

    If there is NOT a check next to mouse keys:

    • Please check the box
    • Press OK.
    • Test the keypad.

    Here is a document you can try troubleshooting not called Portable keyboard troubleshooting (Windows 10: 8).

  • NB100 - where is numlock?

    I worked with a NB100 today and discovered that the keys j, k and l product numbers 1, 2 and 3.
    Even with all the keys that surrounds them. These keys were tiny figures on the leading edge of the keys, so I pressed on the function key, and of course, that produces j, k and l (etc.), BUT while the function key is pressed. Being a guy very smart, searched everywhere, hired the keyboard for the NumLock key, which I thought was accidentally. Hmm, not of this key.

    The possible combinations with the function key that could turn this feature on or off are of course endless, but I tried Fn N Fn Alt N Fn # and many others, and is not disappointment in my prediction that it would give no results. :-(
    I've looked everywhere in this forum with his useless search facility (NB100 numlock or NB100 digital returns over 50 clicks that have nothing to do with either numlock to the NB100) and we found nothing obviously, otherwise I wouldn't ask.

    The owner told me it wasn't like that yesterday, so of course, several of these tiny keys got pressed at the same time unintentionlly and something switched on. Can someone tell me please how to turn this OFF? If this isn't a toggle (he transforms same key combination ONE and OFF) can someone tell me how this poor guy lit, so it can avoid this in the future?

    Maybe I'm all wet and has nothing to do with some mysterious combination that led to a permanent state of NumLock or there is a NumLock key hidden somewhere on the keyboard. So please tell me where it is, because two people has spent several minutes to examine all keys (and their leading edges) looking for IT... nothing helps.

    If it's a problem of firmware (like the missing keys), where I download the firmware update the problem into oblivion?

    Help me, please.

  • Y580 OneKey Theater + NumLock problem

    Hello

    I recently did a clean install on my new SSD and now I can not find driver OneKey Theater for Lenovo Y580 Windows 7 x 64. Any ideas where I can download it?

    Also my NumLock key does not boot when I start the operating system. It is not because of the system because registry numlock is set to its 2 ordinary (init at startup) and Lenovo BIOS is really poor, so I can't set up inside her. Any ideas, Tips how to operate? It becomes quite boring.

    Thanks for any answers in advance.

    Simon.

    Interesting P.S.: I had to apply my warranty because my keyboard was damaged when I bought the laptop, so I contacted Lenovo Support and I created a new service order. The operator asked me what is the problem then I said: "my keyboard is damaged and numlock does not start at the start of my operating system." His response was: "I don't understand, if you are able to squeeze and turn it on, what's the problem then? I guess I don't have to explain why I gave up to convince that, for me, it IS a problem and a bit boring. I use a password number
