keyboard utilities

This tag covers discussions and solutions for managing keyboard behavior in Windows, with a focus on utilities that control Num Lock state. A recurring theme is the difficulty of keeping Num Lock permanently on in Windows 10 and 11, a common frustration for users who rely on the numeric keypad for data entry. The content explores registry tweaks, startup scripts, and third-party tools to enforce a persistent Num Lock setting. While the tag is specific to keyboard utilities, the primary use case shown is resolving Num Lock persistence issues, making it relevant for power users, accountants, and anyone who wants consistent keyboard behavior without manual intervention.
