Windows 10: Keyboard Caps Lock Operation

For a couple of weeks now I am having problems with my Dell Inspiron N5110 which loses Caps Lock function every couple of days. I used MS Windows 10 support and watched them uninstall the PS2 Keyboard and the system restarts and reloads the same PS2 Keyboard and all is ok Caps Lock works fine for a few days then it's back again and I have to uninstall it and restart it to get the correct operation back again. Then the other day I uninstalled it again but as I clicked on uninstall I noticed that the keyboard had changed to Yamaha something and it was too late. It wiped it off and on restarting I found I couldn't use my keyboard at all. My f8 did not put me into safe mode and eventually I manged to get into safe mode by using f3 on start up to get me a new Windows 10 install of course losing all my apps etc. Now in the last fifteen minutes I have had to uninstall the PS2 Keyboard, restart and get my Caps Lock working again. I have tried unsuccessfully to contact Windows Support about this problem so have had to resort for help here to fix this problem.

No caps lock indicator with new keyboard?


Hi:

According to the manufacturer's web site, there is no caps lock indicator on this keyboard:

Wireless Multimedia Keyboard Mouse - Wireless - Keyboards - IT PRODUCTS

{FWIW, the product web page does not specifically list Win10 as a supported OS, but they may or may not be relevant or significant.}

Keyboard

• Water resistant keypad
• Key press force: 55g + 8g
• 104 key standard QWERTY keyboard layout
• RF power output: 1.6mW
• Battery type: 2x AAA
• Operating frequency: 2.4 GHz
• Operating distance: up to 33ft (10m)
• RF channel: 79 (hopping)
• LED indicator: Low battery life
• Dimensions: 19" (L) x 7 1/4" (W) x 1 3/4" (H)
• 18 Hotkeys: Web Back, Web Forward, Web Stop, Refresh, Search, My Favorites, Home Page, Email, Media Player (not supported in Windows 2000), Play/Pause, Previous, Next, Stop, Volume down, Mute, Volume Up, My Computer (not supported in Windows Server 2003 (32-/64-bit) & Windows 2000), Calculator (not supported in Windows 2000)
• Power requirements (battery):
  • Operating: 3V/~5.0mA
  • Standby (~3 sec no activity): 3V/~0.01mA

So, I guess I would go back to my original recommendation: return it and buy a KB with the features you want.
That would seem -- ultimately -- to be the most satisfying solution.

But, it's up to you, of course.

Cheers,
MM

 

Windows 10 Caps Lock light


Strangely enough, since updating to 9879, the caps lock light on my keyboard does not work.

I know it may seem small but it is really annoying not knowing when caps is on or not. My keyboard is backlit and the keys light up fine but the light on the capslock key does not.

I'm dualing booting with Windows 8.1 and if I switch back to 8.1, the caps lock button light works fine, so I know the light it self is not the problem.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.
