I'm using a PIN code to log on my computer. However, Num ⇩ is always turned off, even if on before shutting down my computer. This is quite annoying as I always have to retype my PIN.
I've tried the suggestions here (same as here). But with no result.
If I don't enable num lock on log in screen and use the numbers above the normal keys, num lock turns on after log on. Then it's too late, unfortunately.
So, how can I make num lock enabled by default when logging in? Thanks.
Edit: While I still want to solve this, I've figured it is not such a big problem. I will need to press some key for the "enter PIN screen" to show, and using Num ⇩ works and enables num lock. But then, still annoying if the computer was only locked (with num lock on) and I turn it off, hehe.

Thank you for your response. I'm unable to find any such setting in my BIOS, however. Only boot, security and some power options, even in advanced mode. – Matsemann – 2012-10-31T09:41:26.763
