Windows 10: How to disable Capslock and Numlock indicators Windows 10

I just got a new Lenovo Ideapad running Windows 10. All things considered it's a fine operating system, and I'm having only minor, fixable problems. Except for this.







These indicators are giant and distracting to the most annoying possible degree. I have tried following other tutorials to get rid of this: going into Advanced Display Settings, only to find that it has been taken out of this version by the Microsoft Geniuses; Another thread mentioned Logitech Unifying Software, something I cannot even find; I've looked in the Ease of Access center and other keyboard and software related settings, all with no luck.

I just want these irritating indicators gone!

:)

 

What happened to the Caps Locked notification on the task bar?

In addition to Shenan's advice, the numlock/capslock indicators are sometimes included with the software that comes with the keyboard. I have a Logitech keyboard and the "Setpoint" software that came with it provides an indicator that shows when the capslock
or numlock keys have been pressed.

Hi,

Sorry for the delay.

Its a very common problem among Windows users. Whenever Windows starts, it automatically turns "CapsLock", "NumLock" or "ScrollLock"
keys On at login screen even if you turned the keys off before the login or boot screen.



If you want to permanently change their behavior, then you can use following steps to do so:



1. Type regedit in RUN dialog box and press Enter. It'll open Registry Editor.

2. Now go to following key:



To change the behavior for currently logged in user:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Keyboard



To change the behavior for all users:

HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Keyboard

3. Now in right-side pane, change value of "InitialKeyboardIndicators" string value to any of following:

0- Turn all indicators Off (NumLock, CapsLock, ScrollLock)

1- Turn CapsLock On

2- Turn NumLock On

3- Turn CapsLock and NumLock On

4- Turn ScrollLock On

5- Turn CapsLock and ScrollLock On

6- Turn NumLock and ScrollLock On

7 - Turn all indicators On (NumLock, CapsLock, ScrollLock)

4. That's it. Exit registry editor and restart your system to take effect.

How to back up and restore the registry in Windows

Thank You.

 

This should do it: Disabling the num lock and caps lock icons on a lenovo ThinkPad -

 

Again, there is no Advanced Display Settings in my settings. When I go into Display Adapter Properties, there is no Screen Configuration tab in the menu.

 

It is actually a OSG (On Screen Guide/HUD). It should be under Ease of access.

 

I have checked thoroughly in both the Control Panel and Settings Ease of Access panels and have come up with no change.

 

Any Lenovo software installed? What you are asking about, is a HUD type feature that is done by either Windows 10 installing the TSR needed, or you have the Lenovo software installed that is causing the HUD. At times it does help, especially in those cases when you hardly spend time looking at the keyboard or want to make sure that sound is not on and you may want to record the conversation.
