Question How do I make it start with NumLock off?

[ArthurPeabody]

I have a Toshiba Satellite C855-S5350. It starts with the NumLock on. I want it to start with the NumLock off. I can't find a setting in the BIOS setup for this.

If there's no bios option then you need to change a windows registry setting.

1. Hold the Windows Key then press “R” to bring up the Run dialog box.
2. Type “regedit“, then press “Enter“.
3. Navigate to the following location in the registry:
   • HKEY_USERS
   • .Default
   • Control Panel
   • Keyboard
4. Change the value of InitialKeyboardIndicators
   • Set it to 0 to set NumLock OFF
   • Set it to 2 to set NumLock ON

Thanks, but I don't have Microsoft's 'Windoze' program, just Linux, and it gets turned on at boot before an operating system loads.
