Manual enable numlock

usually i use for windows 10
;Enable Numlock
[HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Keyboard]
"InitialKeyboardIndicators"="2"

it will auto enable numlock after installation but win 11 won't turn on the numlock automaticly....
:/

I've been using this for years, including Win11 Dev releases..

; Enable Num Lock
[HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Keyboard]
"InitialKeyboardIndicators"="2147483650"

That's also what these characters advise: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us...0/842a33f4-6389-4e2e-939b-a0cca6aff353?page=7

Why are you not setting this up in your system bios?

Why not just use the keyboard??

Interesting, I am using 2.

I've used the Registry setting for the NumLock, it seems to "Save State", a reboot or startup returns the NumLock to the state it was at when it was shut down, if Off comes back as Off, if On comes back as On.

One thing with the USB keyboards that may have an effect, some won't be loaded at initial boot/start if plugged into a USB 3 port. The BIOS has support for USB 2 but need the OS loading USB 3 drivers even though USB 3 is supposed to be backward compatible.
