Step 4: Double-click the InitialKeyboardIndicators entry in the right pane and enter 0 in the Value data field to disable Num Lock at startup.
Alternatively, if you want to keep the Num Lock always on, enter 2 instead. Then, click OK.
Restart your PC after this for the changes to take effect.
Method 3: Run Num Lock Script at Startup
Step 1: Press the Windows key + S, type Notepad, and press Enter.
Step 2: Paste the following code in the Notepad window.
set WshShell = CreateObject(“WScript.Shell”)WshShell.SendKeys “{NUMLOCK}”
Step 3: Click the File menu at the top and select Save as.
Step 4: Select the All files option in the Save as type drop-down menu. Enter a suitable name followed by .vbs extension in the File name box. Then, click Save.

Step 6: Press the Windows key + R, type shell:startup in the box, and press Enter.
Step 7: In the Startup folder, right-click anywhere on the empty space and select the paste icon.
Restart your PC after this to ensure that the script is running as expected. The script above will emulate pressing the Num Lock key once. This will switch the state of the Num Lock key, so if it is on by default, it will turn off, and if it is off by default, it will turn on.
Method 4: Change BIOS Settings
Step 1: Press Windows + S to open the search menu. Type recovery options and press Enter.
Step 2: Click the Restart now button next to Advanced startup.

Note: The UEFI settings screen may appear different depending on your PC’s manufacturer and model.
Step 7: Once you’re in BIOS, head to the Boot menu and set your preferred Bootup NumLock State. Then, press F4 or the appropriate key to save your changes and exit BIOS.
The state of the Num Lock on your computer is typically determined by the manufacturer’s settings. However, this may not always be what you want or need. Fortunately, it’s easy to enable or disable the Num Lock key at Windows startup using the methods mentioned above.
