NumLock not defaulting with Windows 10
So I'm having trouble with NumLock defaulting on the Logon screen in Windows 10. I have a Dell Inspiron 15R.
I tried the following;
1. On the Logon screen, press the NumLock key on the keyboard to turn it on. On the bottom right corner of the Login screen I clicked the power button to reboot Windows.
2. using Registry tweak, InitialKeyboardIndicators under HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Keyboard using code(s) 2147483650 then tried 80000002 as well as just 2
Before installing Win10 it worked as desired (I did #2 above using code "2"). Anyone find a solution?

OK I found an old solution (Windows 8.1) but after applying, it works in Windows 10 as well, although there were "different" paths to get there. So try this (for it to take effect you will need to restart):
1. First do #2 above - Press Win+R keys on your keyboard, the "Run" dialog will appear. Type regedit without quotes and press Enter. under HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Keyboard select "InitialKeyboardIndicators" in "Value data" type in 2 ; then OK to close.
2. Go To "Control Panel"
click on "System and Security"
click "Power Options"
on the left panel select "Choose what the power button does"
in the top of this screen first click " Change settings that are currently unavailable" then scroll down and under the last section "Shutdown settings" unclick "Turn on fast startup (recommended)" click "save" and the restart your computer.
Mine works now, WAHOO!!!! (btw I posted this @ Microsoft also, thanks Microsoft for the help; he said facetiously)
