Pressing the Caps Lock key prompts the system to display a notification. However, this may be annoying sometimes because of the redundancy of the pop-up after pressing it. So, we’ll take you through ways to turn off the Caps Lock notifications when the button is pressed.

Should I turn Off Caps Lock notifications?

Turning off the Caps Lock notification on Windows 11 doesn’t affect its functionality. It only prevents the constant pop-up whenever you press the button.

So, depending on your preference, you can enable or disable the feature.

How can I turn off the Caps Lock notification on my PC?

Before trying any steps, apply the following:

• Turn off background apps running on your PC.
• Run a virus and malware scan.
• Restart Windows in Safe Mode and check if the notification appears.

After applying these, you can proceed with the tweaks below.

1. Tweak keyboard settings

1. Press Windows + R key to open the Run dialog box, type control, then press Enter to open the Control Panel.
2. Click on the View by drop-down button and select Large icons from the options. Next, find and select the Keyboard.
3. Select the Key settings tab.
4. Double-click the Caps Lock, then uncheck the Display caps lock on-screen option.
5. Close the Control Panel and restart your PC to check if the Caps Lock On notification appears.

Disabling the feature above stops the notification from popping up on your screen whenever the button is pressed.

2. Edit the Display adapter properties

1. Left-click the Start button, type View advanced display info, and open it from the best match.
2. Under Display information, click on the Display adapter properties for Display 1.
3. Select the Screen configuration tab, then uncheck Enable on-screen display option.
4. Restart your PC and click the Caps Lock button to see if its notification appears.

Preventing the Display adapter from allowing on-screen display will stop the keyboard from using the feature to notify you.

Most keyboards have a physical LED indicator to show the active status of the caps lock keys. But some laptops do not have this physical indicator light on the keyboard.

A non-backlit keyboard provides notifications on the screen and plays a sound when you press them. This element is not a part of Windows and is probably enabled by a manufacturer’s pre-installed application.

Once the notification arrives, it changes the focused Window. Hence, a game may exit full-screen mode or stop typing in word documents. Honestly, it’s very annoying.

In this article, I will explain how to disable the caps lock notifications in Windows 10/11.

Клавиша Caps Lock позволяет переключить набор с клавиатуры на прописные или заглавные буквы и уведомляет их включение индикатором. Однако некоторые пользователи хотели бы, чтобы сама операционная система сообщала о ее активации. В Windows 10 есть возможность настроить такое уведомление.

Некоторые моменты при вводе с клавиатуры могут вызвать раздражение, в частности, случайный набор слов заглавными буквами. Это действительно неприятно, поскольку, если так произойдет, будем вынуждены стирать и перепечатывать часть текста. Поэтому рекомендуется проверять экран после начала ввода, чтобы избежать ошибок такого типа.

Некоторые пользователи набирают автоматически, не глядя на клавиатуру. В Windows 10 можно настроить уведомление, которое информирует о включенной кнопке Caps Lock, чтобы могли отключить ввод прописных букв, прежде чем начать печатать.

Иногда верхний регистр можем активировать случайно, и при наборе не обращаем внимания на светящийся индикатор. Чтобы избежать подобных ошибок, в операционной системе можно настроить звуковое уведомление. Это полезная функция, поскольку будете знать, включена или отключена клавиша.

Как активировать уведомление Caps Lock на ПК с Windows 10?

Откройте меню Пуск и щелкните на значок шестеренки для входа в системные параметры. Либо просто нажмите сочетание Win + I. Перейдите в раздел «Специальные возможности».

На левой панели щелкните на вкладку «Клавиатура». Отобразится ряд опций. Среди них найдите раздел Озвучивание переключений. Под нею приведен пункт «Подается звуковой сигнал при нажатии Caps Lock, Num Lock или Scroll Lock». Здесь можете включить или отключить функцию.

Теперь после нажатия на клавишу компьютер будет издавать звук, уведомляющий, что включен или отключен верхний регистр.

Как включить визуальное уведомление?

Иногда пользователям недостаточно звукового сообщения, и они предпочти еще получать визуальную информацию. С ее помощью можно проверить, нажата ли кнопка Caps Lock, не глядя на клавиатуру.

В Windows 10 нет встроенной опции, выводящей визуальные сообщения, поэтому нужно использовать стороннюю программу. Одна из лучших бесплатных программ — Traystatus.

Когда это программное обеспечение установлено, оно не препятствует подаче звукового сигнала.
