Has the numlock issue been fixed?

Post by SMXBob »

I've used virtualbox for years and never had a problem with numlock until sometime last year. I see lots of posts on it but no fix. I just updated to 6.1.18 still not working.

Mac OS 11.2.1 host, Windows 10 guest

Seems numlock support for macOS hosts is still listed on the known issues section of the VirtualBox manual.

On Mac OS X hosts, the following features are not yet implemented:
  • Numlock emulation
  • CPU frequency metric
  • Memory ballooning

Thanks
The responses to other posts led me to believe that it should be working so wasn't sure.
