Turn on the NUM LOCK at startup

How edit you InitialKeyboardIndicators in the Publisher of the registry for num lock is turned on at startup? Only instructions I've read says to change the value to 2.  The number that is already present is 2147483648, which I have no idea what it represents.  Can someone help me out here? Thank you

By default the NumLock State is the same as it was before you shut down the computer properly. If it is on when you shut it down it will be on when you turn on the computer again.

    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.

  • HP g7-1320dx - on the numeric keypad does not work and the Num Lock will beep when you press

    Today, I noticed that my keypad does not work. The keys / *-+ and 'Enter' works, but the actual number will not.

    When I press NUM LOCK, it only beeps and turns the light active or not. And the keys / *-+ and 'Enter' won't work, any more than the actual digital keys.

    The regular keyboard numbers and keys all work, it is a simple matter of numeric keypad.

    Any ideas?

    So I thought that my own problem.

    "I went to the "Ease of access" >"mouse settings"> "paved digital use to move the mouse on the screen" and it has disabled."

    I hope it helps someone else in the future!

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • Want to m6 - on keyboard num lock button

    M6 - envy I can't tell when the num lock key is on when I use the keyboard on the right side. This creates a problem when you type the number of password and I need to stop and remember to use the keys on the top. How will I know if it's on or not? Nothing (no lights on the cover lock) lights up. Nothing in the taskbar or the other.

    Thank you

    Hello Cageycat,

    You have a problem don't know not if your key for the nun is activated.

    Go to HP.com and update the keyboard driver when it exists and also in the BIOS.

    Here is a link to updates. You will need your product number.

    You can also go to ease of access and change the settings of toggle keys.

    • Go to start of easy access type and press on enter

    • Scroll and click on create the keyboard easier to use

    • Check the turn ToggleKeys on.

    This will give you a sound when the keys are on.

    I would like to know how everything goes.

  • 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.

  • Num Lock not enabled when starting Windows 8

    Hello world

    After turning on my system after loading Windows 8, the Num Lock does not automatically start as it is defined in my BIOS.  I followed the suggestion given in the forums and changed registry entries for the InitialKeyboardIndicators key in the registry as having a value of 2.  It still does not work.

    What I've noticed is that if I have sign in Windows 8, then arrested after disconnection, the num lock light will be after restarting my system.  However, if I go into the settings and off directly without signing out, NUMLOCK is turned off when I restart my PC.

    Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.

    Thank you.

  • num lock 17 t-J100

    I have a new TouchSmart from HP ENVY 17 t-J100.

    I don't see a NumLock on or seeing off.

    Prior computer keyboards have had such light.

    Is there one, or are we to see if the num lock feature is enabled or disabled by trial and error?

    goodhayman,

    Yes, it seems that the newer models have fallen by using light Verr Num and it appears at this time that no measures were taken to restore the Num Lock light.

    Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

    Take care and have a great day!
