NumLock issues

Post by Pipppero2007 »

Hello,

I have Windows 10 Pro 64 bit host and Windows 7 SP1 64 bit guest.

They are both updated.

I want when I run Windows 7 guest that NUMLOCK is ON.

I go to the registry and set:

- HKCU\Control Panel\Keyboard
- InitialKeyboardIndicators
- 2

Weird, when I boot again Windows 7 the NUMLOCK is Always OFF.

Most weird is that if I change InitialKeyboardIndicators to another number (i.e. 0, 1, etc.) at the next boot is again "2".

Why that happen?

Possibly because you are editing the wrong registry entry:

Press Win + R and type in Regedit.
Navigate to registry key HKEY_USERS\Default\Control Panel\Keyboard.
Right click on the “InitialKeyboardIndicators”, select Modify and change Value data to 2.
Exit Registry.
