  2. pressing shift turns on caps lock

    typing in all lowercase because this is incredibly frustrating. whenever i press shift, the caps lock is turned on. i have windows 10, and this started happening after installing the most recent update this morning - today is 12/6/2015. yes, sticky
    keys and filter keys are disabled. when shift is pressed, the light actually comes on for the caps lock button, so i think somehow the shift function was replaced by the caps lock function. i have tried using the regedit fix to disable the caps lock button.
    this caused the caps lock button to no longer work, which was expected, although the shift key still turns caps lock on.

  3. Disable Caps Lock on Windows 10?

    The below does not disable CAPS LOCK; instead it converts CAPS LOCK into SHIFT LOCK.

    • Right-click Start
    • Choose Control Panel.
    • Under Clock, Language and Region, choose
      Change input methods.
    • On the left, choose
      Advanced Settings.
    • Near the bottom, click on
      Change language bar hot keys (this is a blue link)
    • On the Advanced Key Settings tab, select Press the Shift key
      radio button.
    • Click OK, then Save
    After this change:

    • You press the CAPS LOCK key puts the keyboard in all-caps mode
    • You press the SHIFT key to turn off CAPS LOCK and exit all-caps mode.
      • Note that pressing CAPS LOCK again
        will not turn off CAPS LOCK; only by pressing either SHIFT key will CAPS LOCK turn off.
    This is similar behavior to how the SHIFT LOCK key works on typewriters.

    How to release caps lock with shift key in windows10

    Hi ,

    2 reasons:

    - Windows 95 defaults were different: SHIFT was the defaults back then when I learnt how to type, and it s been 20 years I am using SHIFT, not easy to move to CAPS LOCKS now caps lock activates using shift :)

    - Also, if you use SHIFT, whether or not you already have CAPS LOCKED, you're sure to go back to lower case - can't say the same using CAPS LOCK key caps lock activates using shift ;)
