Need help removing onscreen caps lock indicator (Windows 10)
This indicator is driving me bonkers, it has shown up on both my home and work laptop and I have no idea why. Advice I've gotten from google suggests going to a Screen configurations tab in advanced display settings to turn off caps lock indicators but that tab does not appear on either computer. I am using a logitech MX Master 2S mouse and a Keychron K8 TKL keyboard which is attached to both laptops,
annoying caps lock indicator
In the event you have Logitech Options installed but can't find the settings screen other answers talk about:
(copied from my response to a similar post)
From my experience this is most commonly caused by either Logitech's SetPoint
software or LogitechOptions
software (different software for different models of peripherals).
While I'm not sure about SetPoint
, for LogitechOptions
there is apparently a bug where the CAPSLOCK notification can get toggled and then stay on. This usually happens if you plug in a logitech keyboard as the software defaults to having that option on.
Normally you can go into the keyboard options and disable the pop-up, however if you no longer have the keyboard plugged in then the software just doesn't give you the menu to disable the option.
The easiest way I've found to quickly fix this is by modifying the settings file directly:
- On
Windows
, navigate to your local app data - WIN+R -->%appdata%\Logishrd\LogiOptions
- Find options.xml and open in a text editor of some sorts
- Find and modify the line
<useroption name="showLockNotifications" value="1" />
to havevalue=0
to disable the notification - Restart / open
LogitechOptions
software to let changes take effect - Regain sanity
