How do you get the num lock and insert to be active on start up? I tried the bios but didn't see a Numlock "on" toggle nor anything that turns on ins.
Thanks

Thank you for posting on the HP Support Community.
Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, I have a few troubleshooting steps we could try to fix the issue:
After digging in many community forums, I found the workaround which is disabling the Hybrid Startup which was suggested by Windows.
Feel free to try: ( workaround by HP Support Agent Dvortex )
- Press Win + X and click on Control Panel.
- Select "Power Plan" from control panel.
- Now click on "Choose what the power buttons do" on the left side panel.
- Now select "Change settings that are currently unavailable".
- Scroll down and uncheck "Turn on fast startup (recommended)".
- Restart the system and the NumLock should retain the last configuration.
Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.
