NumLock status control with Hyper-V

Q. How can I set the NumLock status with Hyper-V?

A. The NumLock option has been removed from the Hyper-V management tool in the latest version but it is still configurable using the Set-VMBios cmdlet. For example:

Set-VMBios -VMName [-DisableNumLock or -EnableNumLock]
