Hi @brkvette123

Thanks for replying. Please check the for the numlock settings in BIOS - 

1) Shutdown the computer. 
2) Turn the computer back on again and repeatedly tap on the ESC until a Startup menu appears. 
3) Press F10 once for BIOS. 

4) Go to the Advanced Options. scroll down and look for Num Lock. Enable the Num Lock when booting > Save and Exit the BIOS.

If the issue still persists, try changing the registry value to 2147483650. 

Let me know.
