Emulate a keyboard button via the Command Line

My keyboard doesn't have a Num Lock key, and none of the registry edits work for some reason.

Can I use the Command Prompt or PowerShell on Windows 10 to "press" a key? I'm looking for something like press pgup to press the Page Up Key in the Command Prompt or PowerShell, but for Num Lock.

How do I toggle numlock status using PowerShell.

Use the following script:

$wsh = New-Object -ComObject WScript.Shell
$wsh.SendKeys('{NUMLOCK}')

As pointed out by ABashore in his comment this can be shortened as follows:

$wshell.SendKeys('{NUMLOCK}')

Here's a powershell line that will toggle your NUMLOCK. I've tested this and it works on my Logitech K120 USB keyboard.

$wshell.SendKeys('{NUMLOCK}')

Here's a list of the other SendKey codes.

If you need to send the keystroke to an interactive application, more code will be needed.
