How to turn off Caps Lock On/Off Notification?

[aufeihuh1234_-]

Whenever I press the Caps Lock key, a gray box appears on the bottom of the screen for a couple seconds saying that Caps Lock is on or off.

This is very annoying and distracting and unnecessary.

How do I turn off this notification?

Thanks.

@aufeihuh1234_ I went through the details and found the steps to resolve the issue:

1. Press the Windows logo key + R to bring up the Run box. Type regedit and hit Enter.
2. After the Registry Editor opens, create a backup by exporting the file to safe location, then, navigate to:
   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Hewlett-Packard\HP HotKey Support
3. In right pane, double-click on the CapsLockOSD entry and set its value to 0.

Hi Riddle_Decipher,

Thank you for your effort, but please first read and understand what the customer is saying before you do anything. If you don't do that, you are wasting other people's time.

I never mentioned any "light indicator" on my keyboard. I said that "a gray box appears on the bottom of the screen".

For your convenience I am attaching a screenshot. Please see the screenshot before you do anything.

Thank you.

@aufeihuh1234_ I appreciate the screenshot and the clarification, 

I have updated my post accordingly, that said, if it doesn't help, please try the below steps:

1. Open Control Panel. Set the View by option to Large icons.
2. Click Ease of Access Center.
3. Select “Make it easier to focus on tasks“.
4. Scroll down to the “Adjust time limits and flashing visuals” section, Check the checkbox to “Turn off all unnecessary animations (when possible)“. Under the option “How long should Windows Notification dialogue boxes stay open“, select 5 seconds 

   

5. Click Apply/OK.

Thank you for your effort. But...

The "HP HotKey Support" folder you mentioned is not in my Registry.

I suspect that "HP HotKey Support" is in some other HP notebooks. But it's not in the Spectre x360 15t touch, which is what I have.

Also, the "Ease of Access" solution you offered is not helpful, either. I don't want 5-second notification. I want 0-second notification.

Please kindly ask a HP technician for the correct solution.

Thank you.

@aufeihuh1234_ Here's another solution you can attempt, as it has helped most people resolve similar issues:

1. Right-click the desktop -> Screen resolution or Display settings.
2. Click Advanced settings (Windows 10: Display adapter properties, Screen Configurations tab).
3. Click the On Screen Display tab.
4. Uncheck the Enable on-screen display box.

Let me know if that helps,

Good luck!

Hi Riddle Decipher,

Unfortunately, the "On Screen Display" tab you mentioned does not exist in my PC.

Please see this short video I made that shows this fact: https://photos.app.goo.gl/L117cRnsUeyN4S7AA

If you could ask a HP technician that knows about the Spectre x360 15t-df100, I would appreciate it.

Thank you.

@aufeihuh1234_- There are a few reasons why the settings could be missing, and to clarify, I am an HP Tech, I'll do my best to help you out, that said, here are the possible reasons:

• Feature removed in update
• Bad graphics drivers
• Windows corrupt installation files

I suggest you follow the below steps to reinstall the drivers:

Step 1: Use Windows + X and select device manager.

Step 2: look for display adapters, and right click on the available display adapters, then select uninstall, when done, restart the computer.

The device should automatically reinstall the drivers when the device is restarted, so, please check if that gets you the settings back.

If the issue persists, or you aren't comfortable doing these steps, a remote session could be initiated by a tech to help you out and I suggest you talk to HP support and discuss your options, follow the below steps to get started:

1) Click on this link - http://www.hp.com/contacthp/

2) Click on Sign-in or select the product using the below step:

3) Enter the serial of your device.

4) Select the country from the drop-down.

5) Click on "Show Options".

Fill the web-form, to populate a case number and phone number for yourself!

Also, if you are having trouble navigating through the above options, it's most likely because the device is out of warranty, if yes? please send me a private message with the region you are contacting us from,

Hello there, I'm not a professional nor experienced in this type of stuff, however, try this step if you would like to try, it might get rid of that notification when you click your caps button:

Step 1: Go to task manager (if you don't know how to access search it up).
Step 2: You should try find a process named "btindicatorprocess" or something similar to this for example "hpkeyboard notification"

Step 3: Click on it and click on "End task".

Step 4: Click your caps button, is it still there?

Alternative suggestion:
If the above steps do not work, try these steps:

Step 1: boot up in safe mode (if you don't know how to do this search it up)
Step 2: click on caps lock, is there any notification still there? If not then try create a new user account, if it's still there then try check the task manager from there for any process which may cause it.

Hi Naqi100,

Unfortunately, I don't see any process that mention 'indicator' or 'notification'.
