- This needs updating for Windows 10 21H1. With the last update, I started getting an On-Screen Display saying Caps Lock was ON?OFF.
Windows 10 Version 21H1
Windows 10 Version 21H1 for x64-based Systems (KB5004296)
My name is Lee; an Independent Consultant, I'm here to help you with your problem.
1. Press the Windows key on the keyboard and select Settings.
2. Click System.
3. Choose Display and click Advanced display settings.
4. Scroll down and select Display adapter properties.
5. Click on Screen configurations tab. In Properties window, make sure Enable on-screen display is checked. Under "Indicator settings for NumLock and CapsLock" section, look for "While the numeric lock or caps lock is ON" section, choose the "Show the indicator for a few seconds" option.
Thanks
Where’s the Screen Configurations tab?
This is what I get:

[](https://learn-attachment.microsoft.com/api/attachments/b268d810-1f09-4e47-b3f9-a70071d8e234?platform=QnA)
This is very disturbing every time I press “Caps Lock” and I want it to go away. It just started with the last update to Windows 10 21H1.
[](https://learn-attachment.microsoft.com/api/attachments/c4bb96e1-15bb-463e-8119-5111a453e82c?platform=QnA)
Again; This problem still exists in Windows 10 Version 21H1. I have tried the other fixes and they DON'T WORK.

On HP computers, this issue is caused by the recent update of HP System Event Utility to version 1,5,6,0. Doesn't happen with the previous 1.4 version. Ending this task will stop the OSD notifications for the current Windows session, but will again be enabled after next reboot. In order to stop these displays permanently, the HP System Event Utility app must be uninstalled.

04/2024:
This indicator only shows up from any Software you have installed - Windows does not have any feature like that, which shows this natively.
~~For example, LG OSD software shows this. To disable that,~~
~~Via~~ [~~How to switch of Caps lock on-screen indicator (LG gram running windows 11) : r/techsupport (reddit.com)~~](https://www.reddit.com/r/techsupport/comments/w6vg4s/how_to_switch_of_caps_lock_onscreen_indicator_lg/ "www.reddit.com")
1. ~~Open Run (Windows Key + R)~~
2. ~~Input regedit and click OK~~
3. ~~Look for the following path: Computer\\HKEY\_USERS\\S-1-5-21-1076181867-\<SOME DIGITS\>\\SOFTWARE\\LGE\\OSD~~
4. ~~Double click on IndicatingOnOff and change the value to 3~~
Uninstall HP system event utility from Windows to resolve this.

Will the next update fix that issue? I assume it's a bug

Hi Robert. I'm I'm Greg, a Volunteer Moderator and 10 years Windows MVP here to help you.
What is the make/model of your PC? This can be controlled by its own specific software or driver.
Otherwise have you tried all of these to disable on-screen Caps lock notification:
