EFI: How can I enable num-lock in EFI?

I have installed a Windows 10 guest using EFI as the BIOS.

Whenever I boot the num-lock state is disabled which is very annoying.

How can I set the EFI to always boot using num-lock enabled?

Hi,

Not sure if EFI is the correct spot to do so.

Have you tried doing this in windows itself?

For example using the following tutorial:
