Number Lock issue STILL Happening
A while ago, Microsoft (in their infinite wisdom) destroyed the number lock feature on all PCs with a Windows 10 update. Year later - still an issue. Every PC I install I have to alter the registry to fix the number lock issue. Why has this not been addressed yet? 2 registry keys have to be changed every time. How hard would it be to update the code to fix this?
I know it is a small thing but SO frustrating!

If this issue continues to affect your usage, it is a good idea to submit feedback directly to Microsoft through the Feedback Hub. The more users report similar issues, the more likely they are to prioritize fixing it in future updates.
Thank you for the input. However, MSFT is well aware of the issue and has been for years. They just ignore it.

I too am very frustrated by this.
If a computer has a numeric keypad why in the world is the default to have it always on? We can turn it off if we prefer, or simply use the shift key + the number to access the other functions. Grrrrr....
One would think that in all the iterations of Windows since this started it would be fixed. I guess they are too interested in pushing out product than fixing the issues that are STILL in the OS.
Update, all PCs are running Windows 11 or 10 Pro
