Diego T. Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Hi guys, after running the Logitech Setpoint software for my Mouse, the integrated keyboard on my laptop boots up with the Num Lock on preventing from me to type my password right away after every boot.This is a behavior that was not present before.I have removed the Logitech software but the Num Lock now stills on every boot.I am able to turn of the Num Lock pressing the Fn key + F11,Any suggestions on how to revert this back?

dcs18 Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Any suggestions on how to revert this back?It can be controlled from the BIOS.Alternatively, if you are already running a Tweaker like Yamicsoft Windows Manager, you can use the following option:-- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anakin206 Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Try this:just power on your laptop. at the logon windows, press fn+num lock then press the power button to shut it down.When you next power it up, the num lock function will be off.Hope this helps, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diego T. Posted May 31, 2014 Author Share Posted May 31, 2014 Windows 8 Manager is very powerful but no luck. No BIOS option.This issue is just annoying basically that came out of the blue after installing the Logitech software Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcs18 Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 You can try the Registry Edit, if you like - you do this at your own risk (backup your RegEntry):--Navigate to [HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Keyboard]Modify InitialKeyboardIndicators to 2RebootReport back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego T. Posted June 4, 2014 Author Share Posted June 4, 2014 I cant believe that I just formatted the computer and all went normal until a few drivers where installed where this behavior came back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rok Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 (edited) I just cann't believe somebody reformatting a computer to turn off numlock. Why cann't you follow @dcs18 and others advise. It's so simple to get the numlock off. Edited June 4, 2014 by Rok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego T. Posted June 4, 2014 Author Share Posted June 4, 2014 It works turning Num Lock off, but the it turns ON the cursor overlay, so instead of numbers and letters are the arrows that work so I have to press FN+F10 to turn off the arrows overlay and have the letters working Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diego T. Posted June 16, 2014 Author Share Posted June 16, 2014 No, still is an small annoyance.Since on the laptop keyboard the numeric overlay and the arrow keys are shared on the letters, when I request the NumLock to be OFF, the Arrows turn on so I have to turn off manually the arrows overlay keys with the FN key.is just plain annoying, even after formatting LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel if you format 4 more times ur problem will be solved! g/l :doh: Edited June 16, 2014 by loco.Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
