    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.
