Changing the registry entry value to “2” does nada. But I just unchecked the “fast startup” option, restarted the computer, and the numlock was still on.

M$ needs to fix this. It is especially confusing when (e.g.) I log into my laptop using a pin, which is all numbers, and I use the numbers keypad to enter them, they work. . . but if I immediately try to use the numbers keypad to enter numbers after that, it doesn’t work. . . unless you turn off “fast startup”. Doesn’t make sense.

Check the spelling of the regedit directory? I had to navigate mine with a .Default as HKEY_USERS.DefaultControl PanelKeyboard

In reply to Ken Nichols. Thanks that has worked for me with a Samsung R780. I assume it works by setting the same bit in the word as originally suggested by the above article. 2147483648 = 0x8000_0000 and 2147483650 = 0x8000_0002. I am not sure what the top bit sets, but as this works, I am happy.
