Turn NumLock on at sign-in

Quality of LifeSafe riskReversible

Sets InitialKeyboardIndicators = 2 under HKCU\Control Panel\Keyboard, so the numeric keypad is active the moment you reach the sign-in/desktop instead of you having to press NumLock every boot. Most useful if you type your PIN/password using the number pad. (Most reliable with Fast Startup disabled.) Takes effect on next sign-in. Reversible.

How MaxTweaks applies this
