Turn on Num Lock via Endpoint Manager

Question

I would like to be able to turn on Num Lock on startup via Endpoint Manager.
How do I do this?
I have been looking in Devices - configuration profiles, but without any succes.

Hi,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Q&A forum.

Per my experience, there is no direct method for this. You can use Intune /PowerShell script/Group policy to deploy below registry key to the client to have a try:

HKEY_USERS\.Default\Control Panel\Keyboard\InitialKeyboardIndicators, and the value is 2 (set it to 0 to set NumLock OFF, set it to 2 to set NumLock ON).

For more information, please refer to:

Please note: The links are not from Microsoft, just for your reference. Thanks for your time.

Best regards,
Simon

You could create a custom configuration profile with an OMA-URI.

./Device/Vendor/MFST/Policy/Config/Control Panel/Keyboard/InitialKeyboardIndicators

Datatype: Integer with value 2
