After upgrading my Windows 8.1 system to to Windows10 , when I restart or turn on my computer the numbers lock key is not turned on. This may sound trivial, but if I forget about it, my passwords won't work because many of the passwords contain numbers. Is there a way for me to keep the numbers lock key on when my computer restarts?
Thanks,
Mary
I haven't found a way yet. I just press the Num Lock key to take me to the password/PIN screen, pretty much solved my problem.
Doesn't happen on the desktop computer I upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10, just on the laptop I upgraded from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10.
i'm sure there is a program for this, but have you by chance checked your bios? usually that sort of setting is set within the bios on boot.Doesn't happen on the desktop computer I upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10, just on the laptop I upgraded from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10.
Check in your BIOS for the num lock setting... like @vladthedog said.
If the num lock was already enabled in the bios, then it should still be enabled, Windows 10 shouldn`t have changed that, but it won`t hurt to check.
Please excuse my ignorance, but how do I do that?Check in your BIOS for the num lock setting... like @vladthedog said.

depends on your model/brand of computer, but oftentimes when you first turn it on, it will tell you to "press XXX to enter setup/bios" or something like that.Please excuse my ignorance, but how do I do that?
