Hello! My name is Mostafa; I will assist you today.

I’m sorry that you are experiencing this issue.

1. Hit the Windows key & type: Control Panel and then open it.
2. Now change the View by to Large Icons & open Keyboard.
3. Then steer to the Key Settings tab & double-click on Caps Lock.
4. Now uncheck ‘Displays Caps Lock Status on Screen’ & reboot your PC.
5. Upon reboot, check if the system is clear of the caps lock notification.

If that does not help, It is probably caused by an OEM utility, preinstalled app on your laptop. To find out, perform a clean boot.

1. Press Windows + R to open Run, type msconfig in the text field, and click hit Enter.
2. Go to the Services tab, tick the checkbox for Hide all Microsoft services, and then click on Disable All.
3. Now, navigate to the Startup tab, and click on Open Task Manager.
4. Select any apps that read Enabled under the Status column, and click Disable.
5. Once done, head back to System Configuration, and click on Apply and OK.
6. Click on Restart in the prompt that appears.
7. After the PC restarts, check if the problem is fixed. If yes, one of the processes or services you disabled earlier is the underlying cause.
8. Now, enable the services and startup apps one at a time unless the problematic one is identified, and then make sure to disable it.

Please let me know if the above steps did not help. Thank you.

I had the same thing happening on my Dell laptop. I had to go to Computer Management -> Services -> Dell Peripheral Manager and stop the service. That immediately stopped the annoying notifications. I set that service to start manually instead of automatic. I hope this helps someone.

[ACER USERS]

I had the same issue and found out that it was caused by Acer's "Quick Access Service".

From here you can either:

1. Disable the Service completely (losing access to other Quick Access features).

2. Manually disable the Caps Lock and Bloc Num notifications (keeping access to other Quick Access features).

> Note that with Option 2, you will need to do it again everytime you restart your computer.

Option 1:

1. Press Windows + R to open Run, type msconfig in the text field, and click hit Enter.
2. Go to the Services tab, sort by Manufacturer so that "Acer Incorporated" is on top, select "Quick Access Service" and disable it.

3. Restart your computer.

Option 2:

1. Press Ctrl+Alt+Delete to open Task Manager, search for QAAdmin and end the task.

THERE IS NO "KEY SETTINGS TAB" IN THE CONTROL PANEL (WITH LARGE ICONS ON). WHAT CONTROL PANEL SELECTION IS IT? Since this interface won't allow me to paste a screenshot, here are the choices I get in Windows 10 w/all updates:

Admin Tools, AutoPlay, Backup, Bitlocker, Color, Config Mgr, Cred Mgr, Date/Time, Default Progs, Devices, Device Mgr, Ease of Access, File Explorer, File History, Fonts, Indexing, Internet, Keyboard, Mail, Mouse, Network, Phone, Power, Programs, Recovertm Region, RemoteApp, Security, Speech Rec, Sound, Storage, SupportAssist, Sync, System, Taskbar, Troubleshooting, User Accts, Defender, Mobility, Work folders. Keyboard does not have the caplock, only repeate and cursor blink rate. Microsoft should have the most accurate answer and does NOT.

This worked for me! The issue arose after I got a Dell pen for my touchscreen laptop. Supposedly there is supposed to be a place to turn this setting off inside of Dell Peripheral Manager so you can use the rest of it without this setting, but no keyboard option shows up for me. I'll try to report this as an issue to Dell and update this if anything changes

Found the Dell Peripheral Manager, though it had no peripherals showing due to the work setup at my job. But if you click on settings the caplock notification is right there! Thanks so much. You were had the only helpful info! It worked for me!
