Num Locks disabled on Logitech Keyboard

Anonymous

I have two keyboards, a solar Y-R0016 and a Y-RBN90. Both keyboards worked just fine until I upgraded to Windows 8.1 from 8.0. Now, whenever I boot-up my keyboard, the Num Locks is disabled and I have to manually turn it on with the Num Lock keypad. I checked for updated drivers through Windows and it came back that I had the latest drivers. I un-installed the drivers, and the Logitech SetPoint software, then downloaded the latest versions and installed, but the same issue persists. There is provision in the keyboard setup to disable the Num Locks feature, but it is not checked off.

I contacted Logitech Support and they say it is a Microsoft issue in not updating the drivers and will not provide any further support. I just purchased the Y-R0016 so am surprised that they don't have updated drivers. Comments please.

Answer 1

I also have this problem. Until about 2 weeks ago, changing the regedit initialkeyboardindicators to 2 solved this and numlock would turn on upon boot up after shutdown. Now it is always off, and the only way to keep it on upon boot on the login screen is to disable fast star, but without fast startup my computer takes over a minute to load, so that's not an option. There has to be a way to have both as I had both until about 2 weeks ago?

Answer 2

I have a brand new Dell XPS 8700. Bios was updated upon receipt of system (Jan 1). Num lock reboots in OFF position every time I power the computer on. I have to manually turn it on.

running windows 8.1

I've tried altering regedit.exe with no luck

initialkeyboardindicators came set to 2147483648

I tried 2487483650, 80000002, 2, none of these worked

I tried turning off Fast Start under systems settings -- did not work.

Forgot to answer Question 1 - No, I have not made any changes to my computer. The original operating system was Windows 7 64bit and Acer does not provide support for Windows 8 or 8.1. Their last BIOS update is dated June, 2010

Answer 4

It is an Acer M5811-E1522, with Intel i7 860 processor, 8 GB RAM, 1 TB HD. Acer did not provide any documentation whatsoever with this computer. The user guide is a generic guide but contains no information on the computer or system. Their support is terrible and for the most part, non existent. I had updated all the chipset drivers about 2 months ago, but not the BIOS as I haven't been able to find one. The mother board is an Acer H57M01, at least as far as I can determine. BIOS is American Megatrends.

Hi Gary,

What is the make and model of your computer?

I would suggest you to visit the computer manufacturer website, download the updated BIOS and Chipset drivers for your motherboard.

a. Review your computer's documentation which should contain the name of the motherboard manufacturer.

b. Visit your computer manufacturer's support website. For a list of computer manufacturers' support sites, visit:

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/help/contact-support/computer-manufacturers

c. Navigate their website to find the appropriate drivers for your motherboard. For assistance, contact your computer manufacturer.

BIOS Disclaimer:

Modifying BIOS/ complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) settings incorrectly can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from booting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems resulting from the configuring of BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Modifications of the settings are at your own risk.

Hope the information provided is useful.
