Change the default number to 2 for Num Lock on at start up.
If you wanted Caps Lock, Num Lock, and Scroll Lock on you would change the number to 7
Understand now ?
I don't know why if 2147483648 = 0 they just didn't have 0 as the default value.

At Startup for the Logon Screen
NOTE: This is before you logon to a user account. You will either need to do this in a Administrator account or have regedit Run as administrator in a Standard account.
1. Press the Windows + R keys to open the Run dialog, type regedit, and press Enter.
2. If prompted by UAC, click on Continue (Vista) or Yes (Windows 7/8).
3. In regedit, navigate to the location below. (see screenshot below)
HKEY_USERS\.Default\Control Panel\Keyboard
NOTE: It is safe to change this longer default number 2147483648 (decimal equivalent of 0x80000000) . It acts the same as 0.
6. Close regedit.

Finally, a solution that worked! This has been driving me crazy trying to find a way to lock the NUM key at startup. I've spent many hours looking for a solution. Thank you DELL-Babita S!

Not to take any credit from Dell for the solution but i had actually found this solution months ago, the problem was me :emotion-10: i tried the first option but it didn't work, i then foolishly dismissed the second option as i thought it was just a different way of acheiving the results of option one. Perhaps i should have read it more carefully :emotion-2:

Hi Babita S.
I'm having the same issue. But I don't know how to edit the registry key. I followed the steps shown. But is the exact number I need to type. It's currently like shown "2147483648" . So in other word to turn on the number lock. What is the new value I need to type.
I don't understand how to cross reference the values in the table show to the key.
Thanks,
Shawn
