Enable NumLock on Start - Windows 10 - Dell Inspiron Desktop
How do you enable the NumLock when you start a Dell Inspiron Desktop running Windows 10?
I have edited the Registry value for "InitialKeyboardIndicators" to 2147483650. After powering down and restarting, NumLock is still not on.
Do I have to disable "Fast Startup", too?
I accessed the BIOS menu on startup, but did not see any option for the Keyboard settings - unless I missed it.
Thanks,
Bart

It's an Inspiron 3650 - with an i5 processor, 12 GB RAM, 1 TB HD. I was able to get the NumLock to stay on once I disabled the feature in Windows 10 called Fast Startup. The PC still seems to start up pretty fast without that feature turned on!
I studied all of the choices in the BIOS and still don't see an option for NumLock during boot.
Thanks,
Bart

Exactly which model Inspiron is this?
Look in BIOS setup again. Many systems have an option to enable Num Lock during boot...

Glad you got it sorted.
Not a fix I would have thought of, but your solution will be very helpful to other users who encounter the same problem.
