You may need to have Windows start always with NumLock on or off. It’s an easy and safe configuration you can enjoy, provided you are a little familiar with the registry editor.

Go to \HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Keyboard and create or edit a String Value with the name InitialKeyboardIndicators

Give this string as value data “1” (without quotes) to disable NumLock by default in Windows start.

Give a value of “2” if you need to have NumLock On by default whenever you start Windows.
