'Caps Lock' notification - Appears on the screen when I am typing which stops me from typing for a second or two

I finally found a reasonable solution on my laptop....
Go to Control Panel > Ease of Access > Ease of Access Center > and at the bottom of the screen select "Make it easier to focus on tasks"
Then scroll down and select "Adjust time limits and flashing visuals" and unclick the option
The end result is that you will still see the notification that CAPs has been turned on or off, but it will not cause a pause in your typing.
Hope this helps! I thought I was going to chuck my laptop out the window if I didn't figure out how to change this setting....

Im running on a Dell Inspiron Laptop home edition, with same issue. I just did a search on Dell forum and found this answer. Similar to yours.
in regedit go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Dell Computer Corporation\QuickSet\QuickSetControl and set it to1
This worked for me :)
NB: Always backup your registry before you make any changes.
