The problem would be resolved quickly with little counseling (Fn + NumLock enables or disables F11) If in their odyssey laptop keyboard, fingers should not be set that NumLock and Caps be activated default each time the system (apparently, and ScrollLock would be activated, but I do not know how to say exactly differences between "with" and "without" waiting completions).

Because we did not elucidate which would key combination to cancel that problem, solution is a simple registry edit. Therefore, if the CapsLock, NumLock, and ScrollLock keys (or key combinations) behave "inappropriately" and are activated default after each boot, then follow the steps and educate them :)
