Dell Inspiron 7537 - Numlock setting in BIOS (ver.A09)
Hi,
With Windows 8.1 update 1, it's very difficult to keep Numlock turned on.
I tried with many registry tweaks, but they all fail when Windows "Fast start up" feature is turned on.
While searching solution in Microsoft forum, few MS guy pointed to Numlock setting in BIOS.
But I couldn't find any Numlock related settings in BIOS (ver.A09).
To Dell, please provide Numlock option in BIOS.
If any other working solution (with Windows "Fast start up" on) is there, please reply.

Hi.
You can try these steps.
1.) In windows use keystroke combination WIN+R
2.) Write command regedit and click OK
3.) Navigate to this path [HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Keyboard]
4.) on right panel you have:
InitialKeyboardIndicators = 2147483648
Change value to 2147483650
5.) restart Windows and you should have numlock turned on automatically
Note: Steps are not guaranted and all you do on your own risk. To Be sure Backup all data to prevent data loss.
