At first glance, a missing Caps Lock indicator might seem like a minor issue. However, it is a real problem for those who type a lot. The thing is, not knowing whether your Caps Lock is on or off puts you in some kind of a predicament – you might activate Caps Lock by accidentally pressing its key on your keyboard and be unaware of that. The good news is you have come to the right place. Here you will find an exhaustive list of proven tips on how to fix the Caps Lock indicator on Windows 10: ## How to Fix the Caps Lock Indicator on Windows 10 and 11 Follow the steps below to fix the Caps Lock indicator not working problem: ### Fix 1: Make sure it’s not a keyboard issue Your first troubleshooting step is to check your keyboard: the point is that this piece of hardware might be faulty and, therefore, unable to show the Caps Lock indicator light. With this in mind, connect your keyboard to another laptop and see if the issue persists. You can also try connecting an external keyboard to check if its Caps Lock key works fine. Alternatively, you can enter your [BIOS settings](https://www.auslogics.com/en/articles/check-bios-manage-fixed/) (the exact combination of keys needed for this depends on your manufacturer, so check your laptop manual) and check the LED light. If your keyboard’s LED issues are behind your Caps Lock problem, there is no need to invest in a new device. *** **📌 Also read:** [Expert Tips: How to Clean Laptop Mouse and Keyboard](https://www.auslogics.com/en/articles/disinfect-a-pc-mouse-and-keyboard-stay-safe/) *** ### Fix 2: Update keyboard drivers If the ‘Caps Lock indicator not working on Windows’ issue keeps bothering you, the chances are your keyboard drivers are out of date. In a situation like this, we recommend you update your drivers right away: For this purpose, you can use the built-in Device Manager tool: - Press the `Windows key + X` shortcut on your keyboard. - Then, select *Device Manager* from the list of search results. - Locate your keyboard and right-click on it. - Click on *Update Driver*. Let your system search automatically for updated driver software. ![Fix Caps Lock Indicator Not Working](https://www.auslogics.com/en/articles/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Screenshot-2024-04-01-094431.png) The catch is that Device Manager may fail to find the needed driver version. In this case, you will have to search for the necessary software manually. Make sure you know the exact details of your device and know what to look for since downloading and installing the wrong keyboard driver can cause your device to malfunction. Things to note: - You should only use the official website of the keyboard’s manufacturer or your PC’s manufacturer. - Search for the latest driver for your keyboard’s make and model. - Use the right operating system and architecture [(32-bit or 64-bit)](https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/32-bit-vs-64-bit-operating-systems/). *** **📌 Also read:** [\[EASY GUIDE\] How to Update Device Drivers on a Windows 10 PC?](https://www.auslogics.com/en/articles/how-to-update-drivers/) *** PRO TIP Manually searching for drivers can be daunting and lead to further complications, especially if you don’t know your device’s exact details. That’s why we recommend Auslogics Driver Updater. This software automatically updates your drivers to the latest manufacturer-recommended versions. *** **📌 Learn more:** [Auslogics Driver Updater: Update Your Drivers in One Click\!](https://www.auslogics.com/en/articles/auslogics-driver-updater-update-your-drivers/) *** ### Fix 3: Undo problematic Updates Regrettably, not all updates fit your Windows 10 perfectly – some can trigger Caps Lock indicator problems on your PC.

Just follow these instructions to do so: **Windows 10:** - Press the `Windows logo + I` keys simultaneously. - The *Settings* app will show up. - Select *Update & Security*. - Click the *Update History* option. - You can locate the last update you installed before the issue showed up and take note of its name and KB number. - Select the *Uninstall Updates* option. - Locate the update you wish to remove and double-click it. **Windows 11:** - Launch the Settings app using the `Windows + I` keyboard hotkey. - Click on the *Windows Update* option in the top-right area of the *Settings* page. - After the Windows Update page opens, click on the *Update History* page. - Now, take note of the last update the client installed. - Under the Update History page, scroll to *Related Settings* and select *Uninstall Updates*. - Once the Installed Updates page opens, locate the update you want to get rid of and double-click it. - Click on *Yes* to confirm. *** **📌 Also read:** [Windows Update Cleanup: A Comprehensive Guide to Free Up Disk Space](https://www.auslogics.com/en/articles/windows-update-cleanup-a-comprehensive-guide-to-free-up-disk-space/) *** ### Fix 4: Update your OS Persistent Caps Lock issues might be a sign that [your OS needs updating](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/get-the-latest-windows-update-7d20e88c-0568-483a-37bc-c3885390d212).

Windows will check for updates and begin to download them. If the client asks for permission due to the download size, click on the *Download Now* option. Windows will install the updates once the downloads are complete. You may be required to restart your computer. To download and install updates on Windows 11, follow these steps: - Click on *Advanced Options* under the *More Options* section on the *Windows Update* page. - Go to the *Additional Options* section once the Advanced Options page opens, and click on *Optional Updates*. - Next, expand the *Driver Updates* menu and select the appropriate driver by clicking on its checkbox. - Click on the *Download* and *Install* button.
