On Windows 8, Num Lock is off after booting after Shut Down. I changed the value of HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Keyboard to 2, which works when fast startup is disabled or when I use restart.
How can I force Num Lock to be on before reaching the lock screen? Thank you.
This setting can often be set in the BIOS. However, your Windows 8 installation might use UEFI instead of plain old BIOS to boot. In that case, you have to take another way to get into the BIOS. Here's explained how: http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/how-to-access-the-bios-on-a-windows-8-computer/
